Rainbow flags are flying around the world in June for LGBT Pride Month. Rainbows are also an important symbol in many religious traditions. The Rainbow Christ Prayer honors the spiritual values of the LGBT movement. The prayer matches the colors of the rainbow flag with the seven models of the queer Christ from Patrick [Cheng]’s new book “From Sin to Amazing Grace: Discovering the Queer Christ."  (Update on July 7: The Rainbow Christ Prayer was published at Huffington Post and then denounced as blasphemy by conservatives at Americans for Truth About Homosexuality.)
