Toward a Theology of Sexuality is an
approach to understanding the body-spirit as a whole creation of God - a gift to us in all
its variety and experiences. This publication, Toward a Theology of Sexuality:
Volume Two, will be the second several that are intended to spark discussion and
reflection and further writing.
