Human Sexuality - "Changing My Position" with Adam Hamilton

from The Weight · host Oxford University United Methodist Church

Over the past several years, the conversation around human sexuality has stirred up deep division and tension within the United Methodist Church. Arguments over policies and rules have left little room for embracing each others’ humanity with compassion and grace. What does it mean for the church to honor the weight of individual experiences and perspectives? How can church leaders and congregants lead in love and humility while navigating complex issues?Chris and Eddie are joined by Adam Hamilton, pastor of Church of the Resurrection, the largest United Methodist church in the country. Hamilton’s book Making Sense of the Bible explores the most controversial questions Christians ask while interpreting scripture, including issues of sexuality and gender. Hamilton believes context is necessary to understanding the character of God, and he challenges us to consider what is lost in translation. He talks to Eddie and Chris about how to be guided by an ethic of love, how his position on sexuality has changed over the years, and ways we can argue ethically without shutting each other down.Follow Adam Hamilton on the web:https://www.adamhamilton.com Follow Adam Hamilton on social media:https://www.facebook.com/PastorAdamHamilton https://www.instagram.com/revadamhamilton/ Check out Adam Hamilton’s book Making Sense of the Bible here:​​https://www.adamhamilton.com/books/item/9780062234988 Learn more about Church of the Resurrection here:https://cor.org
