Broke the Bread, Spilled the Tea
Broke the Bread, Spilled the Tea | Mitchell Kesller
1 post | 1 read
What do you do when your identity directly contradicts your faith? The Christian Church has long been one of the most influential The Christian Church has long been one of the most influential institutions in society. Self-proclaimed as God's representatives on earth, it is ironic to see how a faith of love and inclusion has been the source of wars, genocides, slavery, and oppression throughout the ages. In an era of misinformation and blind faith, maybe it's time to take a closer look at the Bible and "judge by the fruits" of what is real and what is not. Broke the Bread, Spilled the Tea aims to explore one of Christianity's most marginalized groups and breaks down exactly what the Bible says about queerness through a contextual, historical, and lexicological lens. Bridging the gap between identity and faith is possible when we conclude that perhaps the God preached on the Sunday pulpits isn't the fullness and truth of who He actually is. From an author deep in the trenches, I've broken the bread, it's time to spill the tea.

Kesller starts off by saying he‘s not much of a writer, but he feels his story should be told. He‘s right on the first count. This felt like reading a Wikipedia page or a Masters dissertation. It would have been more interesting if he‘d just focused on his own story instead of just inserting a Bible verse and then inserting how other people have discovered that verse has been misinterpreted.
