Love Thy Neighbor is more than a catchy phrase or popular wisdom, it is a time-honored commandment rooted in Islamic, Jewish and Christian faith traditions.
Love of neighbor is a cornerstone Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, with love of God (Allah and Yahweh) as the foundation. The command to love one’s neighbor is not about the emotion of love, but rather the action of love. Who is my neighbor – those who are like you, that is created by God. Therefore, all of humanity is our neighbor.
The front of the shirt has Love Thy Neighbor printed on the front left chest and the words Thy Homeless Neighbor, Thy Muslim Neighbor, Thy Black Neighbor, Thy Gay Neighbor, Thy White Neighbor, Thy Jewish Neighbor, Thy Transgendered Neighbor, Thy Christian Neighbor, Thy Atheist Neighbor, Thy Racist Neighbor, Thy Addicted Neighbor and

One of the main theological concepts for us, as well as for our denomination, Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) is that of imago Dei, Latin meaning "image of God". It is rooted in Genesis 1:26-28, wherein humanity is created in God's own image. For a people (lesbian, gay, transgendered, bisexual, intersexed, queer, etc) who are often considered by some to be ungodly, evil, sinful, less than human, it has been important for MCC and us to embrace the theological tenet that all of humanity is created in God's image and likeness.
There has been and continues to be some debate as to what that image is like – is it physical, or spiritual, or encompassing both and more. "Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness" – does this mean that God is both female and male or perhaps a binary construction of gender too limiting. Is God completely without sex (biological, which would mean a physical body), gender (social construction), is God genderless or does God span the whole possibility of gender?
The other aspect around imago Dei and creation is that of humanity being created and all of creation being called very good (Gen 1:31) and the concept of original sin in relation to women.
