“Sexual Liberation in the Age of #MeToo” – 9:15 and 11:00am
Sexual misconduct and abuse are present in every community and sector of society, causing harm to people of all ages, genders, and identities. This isn’t news, of course, for much of the population. However, the sheer number of public figures accused of sexual assault recently has exposed the pervasiveness of the issue. Sexual morality has often been falsely equated with denying desire, limiting freedom, and stifling expression. As religious progressives – affirming the inherent worth and dignity of each person, promoting freedom of expression, and understanding sexuality as a sacred and integral part of who we are – how do we practice a sexual ethic that is life-giving, honoring, and empowering rather than harmful? Rev. Wiviott will lead worship and Henry Pleas will be our musical guest.
