The really good news: What the bible says about sex
Article Abstract:
A researcher found that both the Hebrew Bible and New Testament directly address sexuality issues. In the Hebrew Bible, Genesis has over 30 stories dealing with sexual issues, such as genders and biological sex, sexual intercourse and desire, fertility and destructive uses of sexuality. In the New Testament, there is little discussion of sexuality issues, although The First Letter of Paul to The Church at Corinth contains many topics in current sexuality education programs. The bible is therefore an important place for religious denominations who are struggling with sexuality issues, to start their explorations.

What's love got to do with it?
Article Abstract:
Love may be an oft-written and oft-discussed subject, but it is actually difficult to comprehend. Both teenagers and adults alike nurture conflicting questions about the subject of love. Ancient writings on love speak of the emotion as something that one must have in order to become someone. Psychologists, on the other hand, define adult love as comprising of mixed feelings of intimacy, sexual desire, and commitment. However love is defined, it remains to be the basis of all moral decisions and one where a human being's respect, dignity, and appreciation for another being rely upon.

Message from the President: Sexuality issues 2010
