Romans 13:10 🔆

My name is Hero and I’m Canadian! I’m a trans man who’s in law school.

I was raised antitheist but I’m now a Christian.

I have attended a Metropolitan Community Church and currently attend a United Church but I’m still discerning as far as denominations go. I’m as yet unbaptized.

I believe in:

- Universal salvation

- The affirmation of all queer people (Side A)

- The ordination of all genders

- Indigenous sovereignty/Land back

- Freedom for Palestine

- Environmental stewardship/protection as commanded by God

- Open communion

- The importance of good works

- Safe and accessible abortions for anyone who needs one

I’m always learning, and very open to respectful conversation of all kinds. <3

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of stargazing, no matter how old I get, even to old and gray white hair. To think God created everything in this universe and has us here on this planet in the perfect conditions to sustain life. It’s incredible. God is so amazing. I’m so thankful to be alive!

Our Lady, Mother of Ferguson and All Those Killed by Gun Violence

Our Lady, Mother of Ferguson and All Those Killed by Gun Violence, often shortened to 'Our Lady of Ferguson', was created in 2015 by Black iconographer Mark Doox, after being commissioned by Rev. Dr. Mark Francisco Bozzuti-Jones for the Trinity Church in New York City. The icon was made to honor Michael Brown, a Black teen murdered at the hands of Darren Wilson, a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer, in 2014. While Black Lives Matter and similar groups had already established their presence in the United States following the murder of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown's brutal murder brought all eyes across the United States onto the movement and forced the reality of police brutality onto the TV screens and twitter feeds of white usamericans who refused to acknowledge that reality.

Rev. Bozzuti-Jones, a Jamaican priest at Trinity Church, an Episcopal church in Manhattan, commissioned the icon to honor Michael Brown and all other African Americans taken by police violence. Rev. Bozzuti-Jones, who is known for his racial activism and writings in the Episcopal church, chose Mark Doox for his bold, unflinching combination of Blackness and religion. Influenced by Byzantine iconography and Dadaism, Doox describes his art as such:

Blending narrative elements, historical references, and spiritual iconography in his Byz Dada style, Mark aims to create works that challenge viewers to confront sometimes uncomfortable truths about race, Identity, and power in American history. His commitment to addressing these existential themes head-on aims to explore deep cultural and historical issues while inviting reflection, conversation, and healing.

Doox continues to create icons for the Episcopal and African-Orthodox churches, and recently published "The N–Word of God", a graphic novel and art book. You can purchase it here

Happy feast day to St Julian of Norwich (yes ik she’s only canonized in the Anglican Church I don’t care she’s a canonized saint to me the anglicans got this one right) the best anchoress to ever live

- Penned the famous all shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well line

- Wrote about a Christ who willingly chooses to become permanently disabled out of love for humanity and how this elevates the honor and dignity of the disabled body

- Lowkey a universalist?? She hedges it by going “of course disclaimer here I agree with the church” but fully espouses a theology in which all shall be saved and all shall be restored to Christ and thus all shall be well

- Had a cat

- Gave us gems like the world is a hazelnut

- Apparently cast Satan out of her anchorhold “the power of Christ compels you” style

- Was a renowned teacher and frequently sought after for advice in her community and by pilgrims including the famous Margery Kempe

- Seriously go read revelations of divine love/the shewings of Julian of Norwich it’s so good it changed my relationship with religion

[fierysword]

She also spoke of God as a mother!

[ohholydyke]

SHE ALSO SPOKE OF GOD AS A MOTHER

[sacredheart-stigmata]

reading the negative reviews for The Book of Margery Kempe on goodreads is truly baffling. ‘she’s so self deprecating’ ‘her weird crying is annoying’ ‘she talks about the crucifixion over and over it’s obnoxious’ ‘the prose is weird, the grammar is frustrating, and it’s boring’

it’s literally the autobiography of an illiterate woman whose religious experiences led to her referring to herself only as ‘the creature’. she had severe postpartum psychosis that triggered hallucinations and extreme religious delusions. It was written in the 1300s. What did you expect?!?!

Hybrid Modernism. Churches in Kerala by Haubitz-Zoche 

Photographer Stefanie Zoche of Haubitz-Zoche has captured a series of vibrant images showcasing the “hybrid modernism” churches of the Southern Indian region of Kerala. The images below, also available on the artist’s website, depict the blend of modernist influences and local architectural elements that defined many Indian churches following the country’s 1947 independence.

As Zoche explains, the post-independence Indian church establishment sought to differentiate itself from the historic colonial building style, and hence drew inspiration from the modernist icon Le Corbusier. The buildings in Zoche’s gallery often display an “effusively sculptural formal language and a use of intense color” with Christian symbols “directly transposed into a three-dimensional, monumental construction design.”
