A Minnesota rabbi and a religion professor will partner for presentations on sex and religion in the fourth program of a seven-Thursday Aurora University lecture series, at 7 p.m. May 10 in the university's banquet hall in Alumni Hall at 1410 Marseillaise Place. Sexual Values and Dialogue. The public is invited.
Admission is free.
The program will include the presentations and audience discussion with the speakers. I will engage us in a serious, and maybe even dangerous conversation about the need for a recovery of the category, Toayvah, abomination, used in Leviticus 18. The broader issue is whether centrist religious communities like Reform Judaism and Lutheranism, as individuals and institutions, can sustain the value of boundaries as fundamental as religious training.
