So what does it say about our generation when we hear people speak of a lack of teaching on Sexuality in the context of Sunday church?

Last night at our 6pm service we had the opportunity to hear from a panel of 4 professionals (specialised as a doctor, a training director, a psychologist and a counsellor) who brought it all to the table.  No stone was left unturned as we talked about the many issues relating to sexuality.  Was it too shocking, or not shocking enough?

Perhaps the focus of yesterday’s “rare” occasion was not the fact that a range of hot topics were discussed in such a public way, instead it should be placed on the new found opportunities people of all backgrounds and circumstances (such as parents, teenagers, singles, couples, etc) walked away with.  The door is now open to continue this discussion of sexuality in our context.  While the panel discussion was excellent, the responsibility is now ours to continue to work through these issues.

Last Sunday night was one of many conversations we all need to have, making a conscious effort at investigating our own past, where we’ve come from and what we’ve experienced, and what our dreams are for the future.  May we never be ashamed of talking about the real issues in life, including without exception sexuality.
