本周，80岁的乡村音乐偶像多莉·帕顿因癌症逝世 1。她独特的信仰观将基督教教义与对性少数群体的接纳紧密结合，这种“神学”深刻影响了众多酷儿基督徒 1。通过音乐作品、公开言论以及多莉伍德主题公园，帕顿成功塑造了一个包容多元的公共空间 1。
在1994年出版的回忆录中，帕顿讲述了自己在田纳西州乡村一座废弃教堂里寻得上帝的经历 1。在2016年接受拉里·金采访时，她明确表示：“我们都是上帝的孩子” 1。她的包容态度也体现在音乐创作中，例如1991年专辑《展翅高飞时》收录的歌曲《家庭》 1。此外，位于东田纳西州的多莉伍德主题公园内设有罗伯特·托马斯教堂，每周日都会举办礼拜活动 1。帕顿所构建的这种包容性空间甚至成为了学术研究的对象，帕特里克·伯罗斯在哈佛神学院攻读神学期间，就曾专门撰写了关于多莉伍德的论文章节 1。她早年也曾与安迪·沃霍尔共同登上1984年《访谈》杂志的封面 1。
Dolly Parton, the 80-year-old country music icon, died of cancer this week in Los Angeles 1. She cultivated a theology that intertwined her Christian faith with an acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community, which impacted many queer Christians 1. Through her music, public remarks, and the Dollywood theme park, she shaped an inclusive public space 1.
In a 1994 memoir, Parton recounted finding God in an abandoned church in rural Tennessee 1. She discussed her faith in a 1984 cover story for Interview Magazine with Andy Warhol, and in a 2016 interview with Larry King, she stated, "We are all God’s children" 1. Her 1991 album "Eagle When She Flies" features the song "Family" 1. The Dollywood theme park in East Tennessee includes the Robert F. Thomas Chapel, which hosts weekly Sunday services 1. Patrick Burrows wrote a dissertation chapter about Dollywood while studying theology at Harvard Divinity School 1.
