Abstract

The ‘1st Congress Churches and LGBTI+ Community: ecumenical dialogues for respect for diversity’ was held between 19th and 22nd of June 2019, in the city of São Paulo. The Congress was organised by the Parish of the Holy Trinity of the Episcopal Anglican Church in Brazil and Koinonia–Ecumenical Presence in Service. As we consider this congress a historic landmark in the debates concerning religions and sexualities that escape from cisheteronormativity in Brazil, in the course of this article, we propose to analyse the social and political conjuncture that motivated the event. In a second step, we will briefly describe the structure of the event, as well as its objectives, in order to understand the assumptions that guided the construction of the Letter of São Paulo, the official and public document of the Congress, approved in plenary by the participants. We believe that the Congress and the Letter of São Paulo have political potential, as they claim the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex+ people as people of faith and denounce forms of oppression, exclusion and marginalisation reinforced by conservative and hegemonic religious discourses.

协调基督教会与女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和跨性别者的关系——宗教保守主义时代反霸权话语的圣保罗书信

2019年6月19日至22日，“第一届国会教堂和LGBTI+社区：尊重多样性的普世对话”在圣保罗市举行。大会由巴西圣公会圣三一教区和Koinonia——全基督教服务机构组织。由于我们认为本届大会是巴西关于宗教和性取向的辩论中的一个历史性里程碑，而这些宗教和性行为在巴西脱离了顺异规范，因此在本文中，我们建议分析引发这一事件的社会和政治背景。在第二步中，我们将简要介绍该活动的结构及其目标，以了解指导编写圣保罗信的假设，圣保罗信是大会的正式和公开文件，由与会者在全体会议上批准。我们认为，国会和《圣保罗信》具有政治潜力，因为它们主张女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者、双性人+作为信仰者的权利，并谴责保守和霸权宗教话语强化的压迫、排斥和边缘化形式。

期刊介绍： This journal is the first of its kind to be published in Britain. While it does not restrict itself to the work of feminist theologians and thinkers in these islands, Feminist Theology aims to give a voice to the women of Britain and Ireland in matters of theology and religion. Feminist Theology, while academic in its orientation, is deliberately designed to be accessible to a wide range of readers, whether theologically trained or not. Its discussion of contemporary issues is not narrowly academic, but sets those issues in a practical perspective.
