Seminar on Human Sexuality, Marriage, and the Church
What do the Bible and Christian traditions have to say about sexuality, marriage, and family? In recent decades, significant shifts in society’s views on marriage and family have resulted in unprecedented changes to its oldest institution. How should Christians respond to these changes? Should the Christian understanding be subjected to revision amidst this sea change in society?
Come and have your questions addressed at the free public conference on “Human Sexuality, Marriage, and the Church.” The event is co-organized by seven seminaries in Singapore, including EAST. Admission is free, but entry is by registration only. For details on the speakers and to register, visit www.ethosinstitute.sg/conference2016
