God, Sex & Church
Canadian Mennonite Brethren have embarked as a
denominational community on a conversation about what their
Christian commitments entail in terms of the expression of
their human sexuality.
To prepare for October’s study conference in Winnipeg the
Canadian Board of Faith and Life (BFL) has prepared a study
guide for use by all Canadian Mennonite Brethren churches
and leaders. This study guide, based on Scripture and the
Mennonite Brethren Confession of Faith, provides direction,
guidance, and excellent discussion questions and is available
at http://studyconference.mennonitebrethren.ca. The BFL
wants as many Mennonite Brethren as possible to have the
opportunity to pray and think well about human sexuality.
