Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I dunno what I am going to do, what do you think? [quote name='E-mail From My College']On Monday Nov. 15th the College will host the Rev. Dr. Marvin Ellison from Bangor Theological Seminary of Maine, for two public Lectures: 1. "On Justice-Love in Human Sexuality " 9:15am -10:20am in 107 Old Main 2. "Sexual Ethics without the "F" Word: From Sexual Fundamentalism to a Christian Ethical Eroticism." 7:30pm in the Founder's Lounge of the Frick Center Dr. Ellison is ordained with the Presbyterian Church USA , receiving his Ph.D from Union Theological Seminary in New York City. He is the co-editor of "Body and Soul: Rethinking Sexuality as Justice-Love" and his latest book is titled "Same-Sex Marriage? A Christian Ethical Analysis" Both Lectures are free and open to all. He is joining Elmhurst College under the Office of the Chaplain and with the support of 1st United Congregational Church of Oak Park. [/quote] Any thoughts?

Thy Geekdom Come Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I don't think I would go to a Protestant lecture on sexuality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnanc Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 i'm uncertain, but I agree it could be of some value to understand their views or if this is for a class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthazor Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 You seem like a rational person and one of deep and committed faith. In this light, I do not think that it would harm your faith any to go. I must warn you that this speaker is in favor of opening marriage up to same sex couples. Which I really don't personally agree with, but it would probable be an interesting lecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 I don't have to go to it for any class... I'm not sure what I'll do... I think I may go, just to check things out... but if I am busy then, no big loss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Since the speaker is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, that right there gives me cause to worry. That particular branch of the Presbyterian Church is VERY liberal. I should know; before I was Catholic I was a member of that church. Proceed with caution.

God Conquers Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I would go.... then I'd bust out some big time questions if there's a question period. Rep the Pope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qfnol31 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 How certain are you on Catholicism? If you're not too sure what the Church teaches, I may abstain...but then again, I disagree with a [i]lot[/i] of Protestant teaching on sexuality.

Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 I follow Church teachings faithfully, although I may not completely understand them... hmmm... :thinking: To go, or not to go... that is the question... Is it better to suffer... uh-oh... Hamlet is stuck in my head... sorry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scofizzle Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 well if you want to be indoctrinated with protestant theology...then go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qfnol31 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 My guess is that it's either too set on rules or on the person without a good mixture, and not so much on us participating in God's plan for us.....So, I would say maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
