“The message of the eunuchs also calls us to look around and ask: Who is being excluded? Who is not welcome? Who is there no space for? [...] There is nothing to prevent them from being baptized. There is nothing to prevent them from worshipping. They don't need to change to be worthy; they are made worthy by wanting to be included. Anyone who desires the water is welcome.”
― Shannon T. L. Kearns, In the Margins: A Transgender Man’s Journey with Scripture

“Too often when a person's experience and the standard interpretation of Scripture don't add up we immediately blame the person instead of interrogating our understanding of Scripture. It is far easier to believe that someone else is wrong or does not have enough faith than it is to face the truth that it's possible that our interpretation doesn't match how reality works.”
― Josh Scott, Context

“Revelation is a highly political, but also deeply theological, text. It offers us a profound way to think about evil as something found in structures and systems, and to ponder what an ethical response to such evil might be.”
