The Theologizing of Homosexuality

Feb 27th

Rowan Williams believes that gay sexual relationships can “reflect the love of God” in a way that is comparable to marriage, The Times has learnt.

Gay partnerships pose the same ethical questions as those between men and women, and the key issue for Christians is that they are faithful and lifelong, he believes.

Dr Williams is known to be personally liberal on the issue but the strength of his views, revealed in private correspondence shown to The Times, will astonish his critics.

The news threatens to reopen bitter divisions over ordaining gay priests, which pushed the Anglican Communion towards a split.

Scientific theory and religious beliefs will collide when Dr. Michael Shermer and Paul A. Nelson debate “Evolution vs. Intelligent Design” at Penn State Berks on Wednesday, December 6, 2006, at 7:30 p.m. in the Perkins Student Center Auditorium. This event is free and open to the public.

Dr. Michael Shermer, a leading proponent of evolutionary theory, is a scientific historian, monthly contributor to Scientific American, and the publisher of Skeptic magazine. He maintains that intelligent design is not science and has no place in science classes, arguments explored in his book, Why Darwin Matters: Evolution and the Case Against Intelligent Design. Shermer is the director of the Skeptics Society, co-host of the Family Channel program Exploring the Unknown, and author of numerous books including Science Friction and Why People Believe Weird Things.

Paul A. Nelson is a philosopher of biology who received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, where he specialized in the philosophy of biology and evolutionary theory. He is currently a fellow of the Discovery Institute and an adjunct professor in the Science and Religion program at Biola University. Nelson’s articles have appeared in Biology & Philosophy, Zygon, Rhetoric and Public Affairs, and Touchstone, His forthcoming monograph, On Common Descent, critically evaluates the theory of common descent. He is a member of the Society for Developmental Biology (SDB) and the International Society for the History, Philosophy, and Social Studies of Biology (ISHPSSB).

For more information on this event, contact the Campus Life Office at 610-396-6076.
