A church giving sermons about sex may have to find a new home. Brevard Public School District's risk-management department has threatened to boot New Hope Church out of Sherwood Elementary because of a worship series titled "Great Sex for You."
Church leaders mailed 25,000 fliers, asking residents "Is Your Sex Life A Bore?" The three-week program kicked off inside the school auditorium. Pastor Bruce Cadle had said the Christian church has been "shamefully silent" on the taboo topic.
Mark Langdorf, the director of risk management, says the mailers generated complaints, were not appropriate for elementary school children and shouldn't be used to advertise the sermon in the school.
Langdorf says the church's lease contract is under review.

Date: 2009-05-03 05:27 pm (UTC)Really, if you're just trying to get pleasure out of sex, you'll never be satisfied. A healthy sex life is part of a balanced (and much, much broader) rest-of-life. And it is only "satisfied" when it's content with helping the other person to be happy.
That's why you're not happy with your sex, people.
Of course, along with that (and more importantly), a loss of the sense of the sacred in a sexual relationship has the same effect as it does on a spiritual relationship. If a family (which has as its core a man and woman who are united before God) does not have sacred boundaries, then anything goes and nothing brings happiness. It's really the same problem as the protestant problem.
And, like the myriad split of protestant churches, we'll continue to have myriad fracturing of "intimate" relationships as long as we're only looking for our own satisfaction and not recognising and protecting the sacredness of our relationships.
