These are good and faithful questions, Hudson. Thank you so much for reading and engaging with the content. My responses are below.

I am a Unitarian Universalist, so I experience and understand God in God's oneness. As such, I don't use a framework that includes the Holy Spirit. For me, it is God doing what God does - ever present, moving about (and causing good trouble). However, if you, or anyone else for that matter, does hold space for the presence of the Holy Spirit, you are in luck as conventional Trinitarian theology is just about everywhere. For example, Kathryn Tanner's work entitled "Jesus, Humanity, and the Trinity" would be a great grounding depending on where you are right now in your relationship with a liberating God and Jesus. I would imagine that the pressing question for this is: how do you understand God accomplishing what God does best?

I believe, and have experienced, that Black Queer Jesus is for everyone. It is a framework that wrestles with Jesus using a lens that speak to "the least of these." And even then, there are other lens that go deeper and further, and frankly, might do a better job. We together, when supporting one another fully, help to understand Jesus's ministry in our lives today. This is but one way. After all, there many rooms, with just as many windows, in God's abode.
