Forthcoming event: No More Special Pleading. Openness to LGBT people and their issues is basic to Christianity

James has written an important new book on this topic which shapes the profile of ‘being Christian’ today. In four sessions, he will look at the main themes of the book called You Can, If You Want To. They will include finding our way into the heart of basic Christianity through the traditional Christian account of how to learn about reality, and the social history of how same-sex relations have been treated. He will also look at how the supposedly anti-homosexual “clobber” biblical passages, often used against LGBT people, actually have nothing to do with what we mean by “homosexuality”, and so should not bother anyone’s conscience. This is a refreshing wake-up course for any who like their false scruples of conscience relieved and their minds challenged.
