项目摘要

The significance of the religious and the spiritual in society has been resurgent in the British and North American media since 'September 11th'. Debates upon marriage and civil partnership legislation for same sex couples in both countries have also raised the profile of religious approaches to homosexuality, as has popular curiosity with anti-materialistic beliefs. This project aims to engage with the topical question: what place is there for LGBTQI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex) people in spiritual space(s)? LGBTQI peoples who wish to affirm both their sexual/ gender identities and their membership of a faith/ spiritual community, are faced with articulating their relationship to the faith mainstream. LGBTQI relationships to spirituality and spiritual space are complex because homosexuality and gender 'deviance' have been both historically and contemporaneously subject to punitive sanction within many majoritarian religious contexts.The Principal Investigator is a practising Unitarian and an ex-Evangelical Christian. The Project Researcher is a member of a queer spiritual network and has been active in queer Neo-Pagan community for the past eight years. She was also raised as a Quaker. Both are committed to producing robust academic research, through a process of consultation, of benefit to queer religious/ spiritual communities and their understanding in broader culture. A significant aim, in partnership with scholarly investigation, is to represent LGBTQI religious/ spiritual voices as research participants. The project hopes to promote LGBTQI inter-faith discussion, particularly around experiences of creating/ negotiating queer spiritual space. It intends to co-create, in partnership with participants, a queer inter-faith website (QUIFSS / Queer Inter-Faith Spiritual Space) as a lasting resource/ project outcome.The project will take place in several phases. It is intended to organise two LGBTQI inter-faith encounters where queer spiritual practitioners from different paths and traditions come together to discuss their understandings of queer spiritual space. During these encounters, it is intended to think collectively, in pan-faith community, about how the QUIFSS website can become user-led and function effectively as a space and a resource for LGBTQI inter-faith dialogue, networking, education and exchange. The next phase of the project will involve a more in-depth engagement with specific LGBTQI groups, networks and individuals. The groups selected are ones with which the project leader and researcher already have established links. These are the Quakers, the Unitarians, Imaan and Al Fatiha, and the Radical Faeries. This means sustained encounters with specific 'non-traditional' forms of both Christianity and 'beyond Christianity', with LGBT Muslim organisations, and with one particular Neo-Pagan tradition. We shall conduct one-to-one semi-structured video/audio interviews with LGBTQI individuals from these groups, sampling for diversity across age, ethnicity, LGBTQI identifications, social background, class etc., in total six such 'deep' interviews from each group. Research will involve attending relevant meetings and gatherings, notably Radical Faerie Sanctuaries and an Al Fatiha conference in the USA. In the tradition of action-oriented research (research actively designed to promote social change) it is the intention of the project that each one-to-one interview takes place as a two-way process where interviewees feed into the methodology and suggested outcomes of the project. Queer Spiritual Space(s) is a project in which university researchers already involved in LGBTQI historical and cultural scholarship, themselves spiritual practitioners with diverse faith histories, seek to engage in consultative and collaborative research with LGBTQI faith and spiritual groups. Because the project is designed to be as consultative as possible, other material may emerge.

自“9·11”事件以来，宗教和精神在社会中的重要性在英国和北美媒体上重新得到了重视。在这两个国家，关于同性伴侣婚姻和民事伴侣关系立法的辩论也提高了宗教对待同性恋的态度，就像人们对反物质主义信仰的好奇一样。这个项目旨在参与主题问题：LGBTQI（女同性恋，男同性恋，双性恋，变性人，酷儿和双性人）在精神空间中的位置是什么？LGBTQI人民希望确认他们的性/性别身份和他们的信仰/精神社区的成员，面临着阐明他们与信仰主流的关系。LGBTQI与灵性和精神空间的关系是复杂的，因为同性恋和性别“偏差”在历史上和当代都受到许多多数主义宗教背景下的惩罚性制裁。首席研究员是一位实践的一神论者和前福音派基督徒。项目研究员是一个奇怪的精神网络的成员，并在过去的八年里一直活跃在奇怪的新异教徒社区。她也是贵格会教徒。两者都致力于通过协商过程产生强有力的学术研究，有利于同性恋宗教/精神社区及其对更广泛文化的理解。与学术调查合作的一个重要目标是代表LGBTQI宗教/精神声音作为研究参与者。该项目希望促进LGBTQI信仰间的讨论，特别是围绕创造/谈判酷儿精神空间的经验。它打算与参与者合作，共同创建一个同性恋信仰间网站（QUIFSS/同性恋信仰间精神空间），作为一个持久的资源/项目成果。它的目的是组织两个LGBTQI信仰间的遭遇，来自不同路径和传统的酷儿精神从业者聚集在一起，讨论他们对酷儿精神空间的理解。在这些遭遇中，它的目的是集体思考，在泛信仰社区，关于QUIFSS网站如何成为用户主导的，并有效地作为LGBTQI信仰间对话，网络，教育和交流的空间和资源。该项目的下一阶段将涉及与特定LGBTQI团体、网络和个人进行更深入的接触。选定的小组是项目负责人和研究人员已经建立联系的小组。这些是贵格会教徒，一神论者，伊曼和阿尔·穆哈，以及激进的仙女。这意味着与基督教和“超越基督教”的特定“非传统”形式，与LGBT穆斯林组织以及一个特定的新异教传统的持续接触。我们将对这些群体中的LGBTQI个人进行一对一的半结构化视频/音频采访，针对年龄、种族、LGBTQI身份、社会背景、阶级等的多样性进行抽样，每个小组总共有六次这样的"深入"采访。研究将包括参加相关会议和聚会，特别是激进的仙灵庇护所和在美国举行的Al Al-Al-Qaha会议。在面向行动的研究（积极设计研究，以促进社会变革）的传统，这是该项目的意图，每一个一对一的采访发生作为一个双向的过程，受访者提供的方法和建议的项目成果。酷儿精神空间（S）是一个项目，其中大学研究人员已经参与了LGBTQI历史和文化奖学金，他们自己的精神从业者与不同的信仰历史，寻求与LGBTQI信仰和精神团体进行咨询和合作研究。由于该项目旨在尽可能具有协商性，因此可能会出现其他材料。
