Throughout history, religions have played a complex role in the development of cultural values and systems (legal, ecological, and familial in particular). As this year's Conference theme demonstrates, religions have functioned to both advance and to undermine efforts for equity. This panel explores religious systems that have created and/or perpetuated harm by supporting/exacerbating inequalities and hierarchies. At the same time, it seeks to both queer such systems in order to construct more just, egalitarian ways of living and flourishing, as well as to name the queer qualities of some such systems, opening possibilities from within. We welcome diverse perspectives from various religious and spiritual traditions at the intersection of feminist and queer theories, systematic theologies, eco-theologies, and inter-religious dialogue.
