| Summary: | Emerging queer theologies in Africa have to contend with the question of how various identities (African, Christian, queer etc.) can be brought together. Hence this article draws on the conversation between Philip and Nathaniel (Jn 1.45-46) where prejudice ('Can anything good come from Nazareth?') is met with an invitation ('Come and see'), culminating in a transformative encounter with Jesus. This invitation will be proposed as a framework for a dialogue between queer theories and African theologies. |
