Summary:This paper offers an ecclesiological dimension to two forms of embodying a feminist-queer Christ in Asia: the Ecclesia of Women in Asia and the Free Community Church in Singapore that are intricately woven into the tapestry of Postcolonial, queer and (eco-)feminist theorizing and theologizing. The paper argues that to queer or make unfamiliar (theology, anthropology, Christology, ecclesiology, which are intertwined), necessarily restores and reconstitutes what had been lost, arguably perverted, but is now made tangible - an opening up and proliferation of possibilities of realizing a body of Christ who is redeemed by and for all in the here-and-now.
