*Editor’s Note: This is a contribution from Dillon Naber Cruz, author of the forthcoming book Theological Musings, from Quoir Publishing, August 27, 2023. In 2016 a high-profile professional footballer was sentenced to six years in prison in England. It was a tremendous scandal because the player in question was a Premier League player who had been capped a dozen times by the English national team. Because of his talent, Adam Johnson had the world at his feet. He had money,... Read more

*Editor’s Note: This is a contribution from Dillon Naber Cruz, author of the forthcoming book Theological Musings, from Quoir Publishing, August 27, 2023. Christian nationalists are making a lot of noise these days on social media and elsewhere about wanting to set up a Christian theocracy in the United States because they don’t like things such as “wokism” or “gender ideology” which in turn is because they’re pro-bigotry. Take William E. Wolfe who served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of... Read more

The Light: A Poem By Karah Ballew

*Editor’s Note: This is a contribution from Karah Ballew, author and poet out of El Paso, Tx. I don’t know how to pray anymore. It’s part of my heart that’s hurting and sore. I whisper out lines beginning with “Lord” And soon find it’s something my heart can’t afford. I’m tired of trying to make sense of things, Of crying and fighting for new beginnings. I’m sick of the beat from the tumultuous tide That constantly tears at my withered... Read more

*Editor’s Note: This is a contribution from Martha Elias Downey, author of Go Wide, which came out today! LET ME TELL YOU A STORY… Some years ago, I was wandering through a crowded antique store when I came across a musty old book about mysticism. I was a graduate student in Theological Studies at the time, looking for something to jumpstart my thesis, so I plunked down eleven dollars and took the book home, eager to explore the wise and...

*Editor’s Note: This is a contribution from Desimber Rose, author of The Church Can Go To Hell, and cohost of Heretic Happy Hour I love the practice of law. I have successfully filed, defended, won and settled five lawsuits as a Pro Se Plaintiff (Pro Se = Self Represented). I defended and won a major case involving my prior church as a defendant, this resulted in the church retaining ownership of its building and 23 acres of property valued at... Read more

*Editor’s Note: This is a contribution from Jon Turney, cohost of This is Not Church Podcast, a part of the QuoirCast Network. Here I sit, an avid hater of writing through high school and college, writing a blog about my writing. If that isn’t ironic, I don’t know what is. I might as well take a moment and introduce myself. My name is Jon Turney. I am half of the team that makes up the podcast known as This Is... Read more

Editor’s Note: This is a contribution from Brandon Andress, author of the book What Can’t Be Hidden, which was published in 2021 by Quoir Publishing. There is something I learned when navigating through the vast wasteland of car-sized boulders at 12,750 feet while making my way up the final ascent to Long’s Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. People are less than microscopic. As we climbed upward toward The Keyhole and then turned back to survey the boulder field, now... Read more

Editor’s Note: This is a contribution from Heather Hamilton, author of the book Returning to Eden, which was published in 2023 by Quoir Publishing. No, not those kind of tongues. The tongues I’m talking about are the mythologies, the metaphors, the mysteries, and the motivations behind what people and texts are (trying to) say. I’m Heather Hamilton. I recently released my debut book, Returning to Eden: A Field Guide for the Spiritual Journey with Quoir Publishing, and I’m excited to... Read more

God Is Strange

Editor’s Note: This is a contribution from Quoir author, Nick Vleisides. His book, Used to Go to Church, was released by Quoir Publishing in 2020. I read this the other day. “God is not only stranger than we think, but stranger than we can think.” It is a strange world that we live in wouldn’t you agree? Twenty-five years ago, I would hear much older than I gurus of the faith, who I respected a great deal at the time,... Read more
