Resources Regarding Gender, Sexuality and the Church

EPConnection

Dec 12

Navigating cultural issues as a church and even personally as Christians can be complex at times. We wanted to pass along resources flowing from the work of First Presbyterian Church of Orlando. They recently gave lectures from September to November regarding gender, sexuality and the church. We wanted to make you aware of this content and hope that you find it helpful as you consider these issues.

This is their quick description of the series:

As our culture shapes a narrative around the issues of gender and sexuality, we are confronted with difficult conversations and decisions more frequently. As identity issues pervade, the Church is called to Know Truth and Live Truth in a world desperately needing Christ’s love.
The 8-week Gender, Sexuality & The Church series will dive deep into humanity’s Divine Design, the consequences of disordering that design, the historical context around gender & sexuality, plus present-day realities, and our response, as Christians, to those who are hurting – our neighbors, friends, families, and ourselves.
