Conceived in sin: The fun of it! Public Theology lecture by OTN Patron John Bell
Channel: Open Table Network
Date: 2021-10-19

The doctrine of original sin, more than any other theological construct, led to untold awkwardness with regard to issues of gender and sexuality in the Christian churches.

Its foundations, which are not secure, need a bit of shaking for the benefit of the biased and beleaguered alike. 

John Bell is a Resource Worker with the Iona Community, who lectures, preaches and conducts seminars across the denominations. He is a hymn writer, author and occasional broadcaster, but retains a primary passion for congregational song. He is also a Patron of the Open Table Network.
