Purity Culture: Let's Wait Until We're Married! Or Not. Parts 1 & 2

from Common Threads: An Interfaith Dialogue · host Fred Stella

Evangelical culture has in recent decades taken up the cause of maintaining the virginity of teenagers come hell or high water. How many of you can guess that the results have been, well, mixed. Like everything else, it's complicated. Oy, is it complicated. These episodes originally aired in 2019. It is important to note that our guest was accused of sexual misbehavior with a member of a church youth group in the previous year. We, of course, had no idea of this. Our exploration of this issue indicates that the allegations are credible. We regret that we had no knowledge of this before inviting him to join us. But this does not in any way diminish the validity of what he says. As a matter of fact, it almost seems to verify the danger of purity culture. Theme music "Nigal."
