[Update on Oct. 11, 2025: Please make a birthday donation to the newsletter annual fee in October, my birthday month. I still need $290. Thanks to 14 donors so far in 2025!]

I need $906 to pay the 2025 annual fee for the Q Spirit Newsletter on LGBTQ spirituality. The newsletter brings LGBTQ spirituality, books and art to the world since 2007. Readers call it inspiring, courageous, informative and “always fabulous.”

I am updating the 2024 annual-fee fundraising page to add this year’s goal ($906) to last year’s total raised ($1,150) for a new goal of $2,056.

The newsletter service raised prices another 10 percent in 2025. They charge an annual fee for the email delivery, software, archive, list management, etc.

The Q Spirit Newsletter makes a big impact on each person. And it has grown beyond 2,600 subscribers. Listen to the voices of readers:

“Q Spirit News always puts a smile on my face. You are often the first to tell me about new books or interesting bits of queer faith history.”

—Elizabeth Edman

“I like to preach with the New York Times Book Review in one hand and Kitt’s newsletter in the other.”

—Jim Mitulski

“I read your fascinating emails every time you send them. So, thank you! You add volumes to my LGBTQIA Pride every time.”

—Steve Pieters

“One of the smartest and most productive of Queer Christian scholars today is Kittredge Cherry.”

—John McDargh

“Kittredge Cherry provides a service this planet cannot live without: spreading the message that God loves LGBTQIA2+ peoples the world over.”

— Christopher Portelli

Everyone is invited to sign up for a free subscription to the monthly Q Spirit newsletter on LGBTQ spirituality and the arts.

I am passionately committed to the Q Spirit / Jesus in Love newsletter and blog because they grew out of my own personal journey as a lesbian Christian author, historian and minister.

Q Spirit / Jesus in Love is my own individual project, so your gifts to Kittredge Cherry for the newsletter annual fee are not tax deductible.

Thank you for keeping LGBTQ spiritual voices strong through Q Spirit!
