A New Vision of Sexuality

Is there really any space for a biblical view of sexuality anymore? Does the seemingly antiquated view of scripture really work in a 21st century world?

Here are two thoughts for you:
1 - Both marriage and community require trust, patience,respect, mutual help, forgiveness - in other words the practice of love, as opposed to the feeling of love. This practice is rooted in the respect of the other, mutuality, self-sacrifice and responsibility for the consequences of sexual love.
2 - Like any industrial or commercial enterprise, industrialised and commercialised sexuality seeks to conquer nature by exploiting it and ignoring the consequences.

How would a new vision of sexuality subvert the common view? Post your thoughts and comments.

Subversive Sex, THEOS, Tuesday 12th May 7.30pm @ Nazarene Theological College, Dene Road, Didsbury.
