CTPL/CBF A [Baptist] Conference on Sexuality and Covenant

Contemporary social trends are raising profound and often painful challenges to traditional Christian sexual ethics. Many Christians and churches are today struggling to discern God’s intention in the area of sexuality. Because sexuality is such a complex, personal, and sometimes controversial topic, it is often difficult to discuss. But just because issues are difficult does not free Christians from the responsibility of discussing them. Offering teaching, counseling, and moral formation related to sexuality is one essential component of Christian discipleship. This Conference on Sexuality and Covenant aims to provide Baptist Christians, and other interested Christians, the opportunity to have the realistic, honest, and compassionate conversations we need to undertake.
