Rev. Cherry will be posting at least once a week at the new "Jesus in Love" blog with more photos and stories from the Taos festival, as well as spiritual reflections, commentary on current events and updates on her books and other projects.

The blog is an outgrowth of her website, JesusInLove.org, which offers spiritual resources for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people and their allies.

Rev Cherry's new book of queer spiritual art is on sale now. "ART THAT DARES: Gay Jesus, Woman Christ, and More" is filled with color images by 11 contemporary artists from the U.S. and Europe.

"Suitable for coffee table and classroom," says Dr. Mary Hunt. "A treasure… to be experienced again and yet again," says author Virginia Mollenkott.

The retail price is $38.95, but Amazon.com is selling it for only $25.71. For more info, visit:

Rev. Kittredge Cherry is a lesbian Christian author who was at the forefront of the international debate on sexuality and spirituality as National Ecumenical Officer for Metropolitan Community Churches. She holds degrees in journalism, art history and religion. Her books include "Jesus in Love" and "Equal Rites."

Blog Faerie Commandments

Thou shalt be a current Integrity member; for as the
Psalmist says, “No good thing will YHWH withhold from those who walk with integrity.”
Thou shalt post legitimate news and public opinion
from recognized sources; for few blogs are fonts of true wisdom.
Thou shalt not post gossip; for it is serious sin that nobody preaches about anymore.
Thou shalt not include thine own opinions in posts; but thou mayest post thine own opinions using the comments feature.
Thou shalt not post hate speech nor engage in personal attacks against thy neighbor—neither in posts nor in comments. Love thy neighbor as thyself.
Though shalt post items that emphasize the LGBT-positive side of issues whenever possible; for there are more than enough blogs devoted to denegrating us.
Though shalt mostly post items dealing with LGBT
equality in The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion; but thou mayest post some LGBT secular news and LGBT news from other faith traditions.
Thou shalt not post copyrighted material in its
entirety; for it is abhorrent to the United States government. Rather, thou shalt post an excerpt or summary with a link to the original source.
Thou shalt cite the original source (author,
title, affiliation, publisher, date) of a post whenever possible; thus may readers direct their rants and raves in the right direction.
Thou shalt be wise with the quantity of material thou posteth to the blog; for the reader unsubscription rate is inversely proportional to the number of daily posts.
Thou shalt replace shaped quotation marks and
apostrophies (“ ” ’) with straight equivalents (" " ') whenever possible; for shaped characters are not supported by all e-mail servers.
Though mayest embed YouTube and Google video clips in a post but thou shalt also provide a hyperlink to the clip; for the clip itself may be stripped out of the e-mail version.
Thou shalt include graphics with thine posts when possible; for plain text is really boring.
