Sex as God Intended

March 7, 2009 at 6:00pm

CLGS and New Spirit Community Church of Berkeley join together to celebrate the publication of John McNeill’s new book, Sex As God Intended.
Join John McNeill and guest speakers in PSR’s Bade Museum for a reading from the book by the author followed by a panel discussion on McNeill’s understanding of sex for LGBT Christians. The special guests include: The Rev. Jim Miltulski, William D. Glenn, and Christina Hutchins. This event is free and open to the public.

For more than 35 years, John McNeill, an ordained Jesuit priest and psychotherapist, has been devoting his life to spreading the good news of God’s love for LGBT Christians. McNeill presents a simple and straightforward answer to the question: What did God invent sex for? The answer, derived from an incisive investigation of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures, is that God intended sex as a source of pleasure, joy, and love.

Sex As God Intended represents a concise summary of the wisdom culled over a lifetime. McNeill’s ideas have enriched the faith of thousands, including fellow teachers, religious scholars, ministers and lay folk.This volume includes a Festchrift to John McNeill, celebrating his life and work in a series of essays by students, friends, and activists, honoring him for his lasting contribution and spelling out how he touched their lives and work.

The book is now available through Amazon.com (go to Amazon through the portal on the CLGS website's home page and CLGS will receive a portion of your purchase price!)
