I am talking about sacred sex within the context of loving, consensual, relationships.

are you talking about “sacred sex” in the context of a monagomous stable relationship?

I watched the film “Howl” last night, and your experience definitely has strong parallels. I hope your chapter continues to circulate widely.

I think you are right Brian. This rejection will be blessed by the God of Love and Resurrection. But it still sucks. Thanks for also keeping Steve Sprinkle in your prayers. He is coming to NC, April 9-12, for a book-signing tour of Unfinished Lives which Wipf & Stock charged him $650 for type set, and then overpriced the book. Wine and Cheese at our place at 109 Whispering Pines, Cary, April 9, 7-10 pm. You and yours invited! (You and I met briefly months ago at a party after Big Tent in Raleigh. I am a Hauerwasian, married a Texan, two teenagers, but grew up “downeast” on a tobacco farm. I’m a mainline Disciple sliding slowly toward “off-line.”

A bit of that was unpacked In the Q&A that didn’t make the video, but I’ll try and explain what I mean my next post.

I heard you speak at Big Tent One on Raleigh and was impressed with your talk. Your reframing of discussions about sexuality resonated with me. I was excited to see your conversation with Richard Rohr on the net, and I used it to initiate a discussion for a theological reflection group I facilitate. The group is male and female. Everyone is above forty. The sexuality spectrum is represented.

The challenge for the group with your presentation was the part about “sacred sex” and “resurrection sex.” One of the women in the group said she lost you because she thought the phrase was silly. My wife had a similar reaction when I showed her your talk, although she thought what you had to say was important and provocative.

My question is what is sacred sex and even more specifically, what is resurrection sex? I think I know what you are getting at, and I even tried to defend the phrase pointing to the baptismal covenant in The Book of Common Prayer (we’re Episcopalians) where a person promises to “respect the dignity of every human person.” I’d like to read or hear a more thorough unpacking of sacred sex and resurrection sex or at least point me toward some resources.

Again, thank you for your thoughtful insights and I hope to hear more from you in the future.

I will never ever forget that day you sang in our Art of Ministry class. It was during the 2000 presidential debates, and we were exiled from our classroom building and meeting at College Park Baptist. And yes, it definitely confirmed a stereotype. I also couldn’t help really liking you in that moment.
