Include sexuality issues in congregation library Adapted from Haffner, Debra. Back to top . February 2000 Back to top . Responsive Reading Sexuality is God's life giving and life fulfilling gift. Too often, the sacred gift of our sexuality is abused or exploited.
Sexuality is central to our humanity and integral to our spirituality.
Too many experience pain, brokenness, and oppression about sexuality. Our faith traditions celebrate the goodness of creation, including our bodies. Too many believe that their faith negates their bodies and their sexual feelings. Sexual lives that express love, justice, mutuality, commitment, consent, and pleasure. Sexual lives that express only power, control, and violence.
