Coming Out

A Theological Dialogue of Queerness and Ability

Abstract

Two authors relate their experiences of coming out as queer to the experience of coming out as disabled or crip. The authors tie these experiences to how Jesus must come out as resurrected and how Christ comes out in the ritual and theology of the Eucharist. This dialogue between queer, disability, and crip theologies elucidates the ways that lived experiences overlap and interact with each other, creating a messy story of lived human experience and a more profound experience of theology.
