Is bringing together Sarah Coakley and Marcella Althaus-Reid like mixing oil and water? An encounter between a systematic theologian and a contextual, queer theologian might seem artificial, but this article offers critical insights into the work of both scholars, revealing similarities within the tropes of their theological thinking. Aside from navigating sites of possible parallels and conflict between their work, this article springboards their settings by offering a new location – a salsa bar on Wigan Pier – to be able to do theology. Academic writing is largely characterized by adherence to rigour, order and structure but the whole point of queer is to disturb and disrupt established norms. Therefore, by mobilizing the work of Judith Halberstam, this article offers a rich dialogue combining scholars working in gender and sexualities in the form of a play script. Critical commentary on the play text demonstrates the necessity to continue to subvert dominant repetitions in theology.

威根码头莎莎酒吧的神学讲座

将 Sarah Coakley 和 Marcella Althaus-Reid 放在一起是否就像将油和水混合在一起？系统神学家和上下文的酷儿神学家之间的相遇似乎是人为的，但本文对两位学者的工作提供了批判性的见解，揭示了他们神学思想比喻中的相似之处。除了浏览他们的工作之间可能存在的相似之处和冲突的地点之外，本文还通过提供一个新的地点——威根码头的莎莎酒吧——来进行神学，从而跳出他们的环境。学术写作的主要特点是坚持严谨、秩序和结构，但酷儿的全部意义在于扰乱和破坏既定的规范。因此，通过动员 Judith Halberstam 的工作，这篇文章以剧本的形式将研究性别和性的学者结合在一起，提供了丰富的对话。对剧本的批判性评论表明有必要继续颠覆神学中占主导地位的重复。
