PRAISE FOR A QUEER LECTIONARY - YEAR A

"In an era when pulpits pander to power and scrub sermons clean of danger and grit, A Queer Lectionary dares real life--where our bodies bleed, laugh, grieve, resist, and rise. In a time when the status quo kneels before authoritarian power, these reflections run to meet us, arms wide, full of holy mischief. We need this voice." --The Rev. Jeff R. Johnson, Bishop of the Sierra Pacific Synod, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

"Carlson is one more critical voice who is reading and telling Gospel-stories from the so-called margins, embracing his and our 'otherness, ' and providing a fresh, bracing take on ancient, universal stories of faith." --Rev. Dr. Brett Mitchell, Pastor, La Mesa Presbyterian Church, Albuquerque, NM, Author of Practicing Pilgrimage

These pages are filled with stories and queer reflections--at once familiar, strange, and surprising--that remain fiercely rooted in a commitment to proclaim, again and again, the divine invitation to "come and see that the Lord is good" (Psalm 34: 8)." --Rolf R. Nolasco, Jr., ThD, Rueben P. Job Professor of Spiritual Formation & Pastoral Theology, and Director of the Job Institute for Spiritual Formation

"This Queer Lectionary is a great addition to any pastor's library, containing multiple sermons that address current U. S. situations and relevant queer issues. Accessible and colloquial, you don't have to be an academic to appreciate its profound insights." --Rev Lis Valle-Ruiz, PhD, Associate Professor of Homiletics and Worship and Director of Community Worship Life, McCormick Theological Seminary
