Sexuality 1. Established Church in Post-Christendom

Following the Bishops' announcement this week proposing that the Church of England offer prayers of blessing to same-sex couples, a proposal that will be debated at General Synod next month, James and Wayne discuss some of the issues behind the issue: how can we have an established church in post-Christian culture? And what happens when a faith-group that is increasingly marginalised still has a significant role in public life?

This is the first in a short series we'll be recording about sexuality and same-sex marriage.

Sexuality 4. Grace - what is the gospel?

This week we read an article in the Guardian arguing that those who are pro same-sex marriage think that God's love and grace is for everyone and that those who are against same-sex marriage believe that God's love is restricted. We wanted to unpick this idea and explore what living in God's love and grace looks like.

Sexuality 5. Sexuality & Identity

This week we’re talking about Identity. One of the questions that often comes up when we talk about sexuality is that if your identity is that you’re same-sex attracted, are you inherently sinful in a way that someone who is heterosexual isn’t? We discuss the turn inward since the enlightenment, the history of desire, what sin actually is and where we find our true identity.

Sexuality 6. Welcome & Inclusion

This week we’re talking about inclusion and welcome, two words that come up again and again in debates and discussion around the church and human sexuality. Both are expected of the church by culture and society but can we actually offer both and do they mean the same thing?

Sexuality 7. Is Jesus Enough?

In the final part of our series on human sexuality we look at the story of the woman at the well in John’s gospel and ask the questions do we need sexual intimacy for a full life? And what is the life that Jesus offers and is He enough?
