Obviously you have ways of finding what’s new on my blog, but I don’t see you on the list to get my Jesus in Love monthly e-newsletter. I’d love to give free subscriptions to you and readers of Alpha Omega Arts. Here is a link to the March issue that came out today. The top story introduces the work of Ria Brodell, a talented new queer artist working with religious imagery and queer historical figures.
