Clergy as sexuality educators: What are seminaries doing? What do they need to do?

Article Abstract:

Sexual beliefs and religious beliefs are often intertwine for many people, but help on sexuality issues from clergy is sought less, suggesting a need for seminaries to focus attention on sexual health. Research into the current status and definition of sexuality education in accredited US institutions providing post-baccalaureate education, found that sexuality education was viewed as part of an ongoing process, but that the sexuality content of courses was often incorporated into other courses. A recurrent theme was the search for 'middle ground' where students could consider both negative and positive aspects of sexuality.
