Called to Love
Called to Love is a four-week study that dives deep into the following topics: (1) what is our theology with regard to our bodies, (2) what is our theology of marriage, (3) how do we interpret and understand the Bible and its teaching on sexuality, and (4) what is our witness as the church on this topic? While this study attempts to articulate what is now the United Methodist position on this issue, it also leaves room for a more traditionalist viewpoint. We hope this will be an opportunity for all persons to come and learn, share their beliefs, and walk into this new chapter together without confrontation or division.
