Jesus in Love Newsletter marks 1st year (12/5/08)

LOS ANGELES, CA -- Dec. 5, 2008 -- This month the Jesus in Love Newsletter celebrates its first anniversary as an e-newsletter on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender spirituality and the arts.

Free subscriptions are available by signing up here or at JesusInLove.org. The bimonthly e-newsletter has presented a positive vision of GLBT spirituality and tracked censorship of queer religious art since December 2007. Back issues can be viewed online at the Newsletter Archive.

The Jesus in Love Newsletter is edited by Kittredge Cherry, lesbian Christian author, minister, and art historian. “I founded the newsletter to keep GLBT people and our allies informed about exciting new developments in spirituality and the arts,” she says. “I hope to stimulate dialogue and consciousness of love by displaying and discussing the often-controversial art that affirms GLBT people and our connection to God.”

Readership has grown steadily in the first year, with lots of people saying that they value the newsletter.

"Very nice, sophisticated, uncluttered newsletter -- with some interesting info as well," writes journalist Eileen Lockwood.

"What a gift you are giving to us!!" says Rev. Jane Spahr from That All May Freely Serve.
