When Jesus Was Silent: Homosexuality

Few questions divide Christians today as sharply as this one. It has split denominations, emptied pews and broken up family dinners. On both sides, people quote Jesus. This lesson asks one narrow question: what did he actually say? The answer is short. In the four Gospels, he says nothing about same-sex relationships. This is the first of two silent rooms in the series.

If you are gay, or love someone who is, or hold the church's traditional view with a clear conscience, you are welcome in this lesson. It will not tell you what to conclude. It will ask you to stop saying "Jesus said" where he said nothing, and to take seriously what he did say. You don't need anyone's permission to follow him, inside a church or outside one.
