Self-Organizing Man

Ona Marae has agreed to join me in blogging heaven.  Her initial blogs will focus on the revolutionary nature of Jesus, Christianity and that mythical creature:  the queer Christian.  I was a religion major in college and wrote my honors thesis on the nature of a just war in Karl Barth’s ethics.  Ona and I have chatted about religion and spirituality for about nine years now.  She is inspired and inspiring and has fought for herself and her religion.

She writes:

My cat and I live and love in Denver.  I am a 40 year old feminist lesbian with a disability.  I am white, a farmgirl gone urban, overeducated but living on a disability income.  I am a writer and glbt/disability rights activist.  I am a Christian also and combine the activism closely with my spirituality.  I also have worked part time at a battered women’s shelter for 8 years.  I was a monthly writer for LIC (Lesbians in Colorado) Magazine and now write for Spinster Wisdom.  I have published poetry in glbt magazines and books and am looking for that first breakthrough with a short story!
