medium for conveying important and needed insights, likely to reach
people the printed word no longer reaches. Out & About with
Brewer &
Berg is a philosophical travelogue of Europe with two zany guys in an amazing
filmed documentary of their vision quest in
search of a new mythology that includes gay and lesbian consciousness. This
is a delightful adventure innovatively filmed (with European sights I'd
never seen before) with lots of Joseph Campbell's appealing wisdom. I
totally concur with the provocative
worldview Brewer & Berg proclaim.
Jesus
in Love is a wonderful book, a Life of Christ, told in the first
person of Jesus, but presented as a "modern person," psychologically
and sexually aware. The "autobiography" of Jesus, written by lesbian
Christian minister Kittredge Cherry, portrayes Jesus honestly--and
wonderfully--dealing with the sexual dynamics of his human life. The
book was sent to Toby Johnson for advice during preparation for
publication. DO watch for it. And in the meantime, check out Kitt
Cherry's website. (Look at the page called "Pray with us" for some
wonderful graphics, including an attractive Jesus rising from the tomb.
