Abstract: This article reflects on what could be a “queer spirituality” beyond the more common approaches about theexperiences of LGBTI+ people in the religious field, concerning both lived experiences of a particular religiosity, and how
they are treated by religions. It starts from a biblical theological reflection about “spirit”, pointing to its instability, fugacity
and multiplicity, and articulates this understanding with the meanings and implications of the use of “queer” in the
religious field. Academic reflections, researches and less orthodox elements (such as diverse narratives) are used to
establish a relation between spirituality and the erotic, and reflect about the experience of the sacred in daily life. Finally, it
proposes a religious language related to the sexual narratives from the practice of participatory research.
Keywords: Queer spirituality. Erotic. Marcella Althaus-Reid. Indecency. Queer theology.
