Is God queer? – An Evening on the Diversity of the Bible
This online evening invites participants to a faith experience that opens the Bible as a living space for interpretation. The focus is on the question of the diversity of the Holy Scripture and on queer-feminist-critical interpretation in church educational work. The event is aimed at all interested individuals, regardless of prior knowledge, and creates a respectful space for conversation, prayer, and theological reflection.

Hearing Biblical Texts Anew
The event starts from the insight that feminist biblical interpretation has opened new perspectives on power, language, and interpretation for decades. Various biblical texts will be examined together and discussed in the light of experience, spirituality, and theological education. This creates an open dialogue about faith, gender justice, and the question of how biblical voices can be heard today.

Queer-Feminist Theology in Conversation
The speaker of the evening is Dr. Meike Rieckmann, theologian. She will examine and discuss various biblical texts with the participants and introduce them to queer-feminist-critical interpretation. The event thus emphasizes not only academic knowledge but also the spiritual community that grows through the exchange about faith, identity, and biblical traditions.
