But I'll jump into it today's book Rainbow Rainbow Theology by Patrick S. Chang Bridging Race, Sexuality and Spirit and I really want to focus on chapter six, page 85, introducing Rainbow theology, Cheng says rainbow theology is a broader methodology and critique that can be applied to all forms of theological reflection. And then I wanted to jump to page 86, where Cheng says the rainbow is an ideal metaphor for the experiences of the LGBTQIA people of color

But what I'd love is to dip into the shape of a rainbow and the unseen colors of a rainbow, because we know that it's not like stripes that are delineated in a harsh way that there's all this fluidity of flow between the colors to have micro colors. And that's where the concept of people of color come in, in my opinion, where there's no one color, there's the fluidity of identity. There's a fluidity of history and of connection between all of the colors
There's something that could be done or cocreated in Christianity, and I'm beating my head on it, and I'm trying to figure out what that could be or look like. And it's conversations like this that have just been continuously pouring into me and inspiring me to continuously think about what it could look like, how it would be available to people. How can people engage with it? It's an ongoing thought process
