MARRIAGE, PARENTING, AND SEXUALITY: 

A PASTORAL RESPONSE

 Orthodox Christians in the Western world are under pressure to conform to the viewpoints of the post-Christian worldview. Today, in Western culture, there is a growing divide between liberal/progressivist/postmodern/secular views on human sexuality, and an orthodox/biblical theology of human sexuality. This course will focus on how to address issues of human sexuality in marriage, parenting, and the Church. 

In this class we will:

Present an orthodox, biblical position on issues of human sexuality

Explain the terms: 'liberal'; 'progressivist'; 'postmodern'; 'secular'

Present liberal/progressive/secular perspectives on human sexuality

Equip students to understand and defend an orthodox position on human sexuality

Equip students and pastoral leaders how to navigate these issues, in love, and in truth

Equip parents on how to guide their children through the moral wilderness that is Western culture

Equip students with resources that lovingly and truthfully present a biblical view of human sexuality

Share resources that can be used, in a church context, for: Children's ministry, Youth ministry, Young Adult ministry, Adult ministry
