I feel that the more I learn about the saints, the broader my definition of “sainthood” becomes.Kittredge Cherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617858676733169316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3735231846682543393.post-62513960650739553652011-10-07T08:22:58.163+01:002011-10-07T08:22:58.163+01:00Hi,Kitt.

Navigability wasn't something I thought about - but if it works better for you, I'm delighted.<br /><br />I would go along with your description as the best-loved gay "saints": I would hold to the view that David & Jonathan are not technically Christian saints, even though they do certainly fit into any broader collection of such.<br /><br />On a personal level, I should note that I've rather neglected this site (as I'm sure you are aware), while giving more attention to other projects - of which the new look is a by-product. I have been giving it some thought though, and should now resume more regular posting, with an expanded frame of reference: not just "saints", but a broader range of queer people in church history - especially clergy.Terencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07504439119402756448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3735231846682543393.post-59482631202068640032011-10-07T04:45:05.293+01:002011-10-07T04:45:05.293+01:00P.S.

I suppose they aren't technically "saints," right?Kittredge Cherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617858676733169316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3735231846682543393.post-52146097409094534582011-10-07T04:43:01.658+01:002011-10-07T04:43:01.658+01:00It's still Oct. 6 here in Los Angeles, and I&#...It's still Oct. 6 here in Los Angeles, and I'm still working on a new post about Sergius and Bacchus with some wonderful new images of them. Tomorrow you'll be able to ad another "related link" from the Jesus in Love Blog. Happy Sergius and Bacchus Day to you!<br /><br />Hey, I like the new look of your blog.
