SHALOM and XAPA

SHALOM and XAPA! (Peace and Joy!--Hebrew/Greek). My name is Brett. A desire for community, an appreciation for true dialogue, a zeal for learning, and a burning interest in Jewish and Christian theological matters inspired me to start this discussion group. I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian with an interest in both Jewish and Christian tradition and mysticism. This group welcomes gay-friendly, theological scholars with a Jewish or Christian perspective. This group is not about being gay, but rather about providing a safe environment for open-minded dialogue between scholars coming from various Jewish and Christian perspectives. If you are a Jewish or Christian scholar of theology, acceptant of gay people, and wish to broaden your horizons through ecumenical, theological dialogue, you are most welcome to join this group. Though a degree in higher education may be helpful to you in engaging in the discussion, well-read scholars without a formal degree are also welcome.
