Homophobic?

It was good to gather and begin our discussion of a very challenging topic! The clips we watched and discussed this evening came from a documentary called "For the Bible Tells Me So", which won several awards at the Sundance festival and traces the stories of several Christian families that have had gay children. (A big thanks to Andrea for suggesting this film!)

Some of you indicated the interest in delving further into the topic. What does the Bible say about homosexuality? We'll have to devote an evening (or several!) to the topic in the future.

For now, you may be interested in the following clips on YouTube from Southern Adventist University (my alma mater).

This one is the first of a series of ten, from a student debate sponsored by the History and Social Work Departments. (You can click on the clip, go to YouTube and watch other clips.)



This one is the first of another set from the Religion Department entitled "Compassion and Clarity." It has several pastors, Bible scholars, and theologians that explain some of the texts in the Bible that deal with homosexuality. (Once again, click on the clip and go to YouTube if you want to watch the rest.)
