dc.description.tableofcontentsWhat are the questions? And what is this booklet? / Ted A. Smith -- What do Presbyterians believe about the authority of Scripture? / William C. Placher -- What does Genesis 1-3 teach about sexuality, and how should we live in response? / Patrick D. Miller -- For what sin did God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah? / Christine Roy Yoder -- What does Leviticus teach about same-sex relations, and how should we live in response? / Robert B. Coote -- On matters of sex, what kind of "textual orientation" does the wisdom literature provide? / William P. Brown -- What do the Gospels say about sex and sexuality? / Margaret P. Aymer -- What does Romans 1 teach about homosexuality, and how should we live in response? / Beverly Roberts Gaventa -- What does 1 Corinthians 6:9 teach about sexuality, and how should we live in response? / Robert L. Brawley -- Since the Bible seems only to condemn same-sex relations, how can some Christians affirm same-sex marriage or the ordination of openly gay and lesbian Christians? Where is there any support for this approach in the Bible? / Jeffrey S. Siker -- What does Christian baptism have to do with the current controversy in the church about sexuality and ordination? / Thomas G. Long -- What do the Confessions teach about sexuality? And how do they inform the ethical commitments of Presbyterian Christians? / Christopher Elwood -- What has ordination implied for Reformed Christians, and how might Reformed theologies of ordination inform our current debates about ordination and sexuality? / Dawn DeVries -- What do Presbyterians say about marriage? / David H. Jensen -- Is gender complementarity essential to Christian marriage? / Mary McClintock Fulkerson -- Can God use sex for our sanctification? / Eugene F. Rogers, Jr. -- What can we learn about the texture of Christian ethics by observing how African American congregations have historically dealt with issues related to sexuality? / Gayraud S. Wilmore -- If the church accepts homosexuality, what is to keep us from accepting sins like adultery, incest, bestiality, and sex with children? Don't we have to draw the line somewhere? / Mark Douglas -- How does the struggle for full inclusion of gay and lesbian Christians relate to the civil rights movement and other struggles for freedom and equality? / J. Herbert Nelson, II -- What do Presbyterians teach about sexuality? / Su Yon Pak -- Is there room in the PC(USA) for those of differing orientations? / Jeanne Stevenson-Moessner -- Can people change their sexual orientations? Should the church require gay and lesbian Christians to try to change their orientations in order to be ordained? / Nancy J. Ramsay -- How might we respond in debates among Christians on homosexuality when told to "love the sinner but hate the sin"? / Robert C. Dykstra -- Would inclusivity alienate our global partner churches? / M. Thomas Thangaraj -- What could bring a person to change his or her mind about sexuality and ordination? What happened in your case? / Jack Rogers -- Which side are you on? And are there more than two? / Cynthia M. Campbell -- Reprinted from previous publications: What do leaders and scholars in the Black Church say about sexuality and ordination? An Open Letter to the Rev.
