I'm a minister and a sexologist. Yes, those words do go together! I am also the executive director of the Religious Institute (www.religiousinstitute.org), a multifaith organization dedicated to sexual health and justice. I hope you'll join me in exploring the connection between sexuality, religion and spirituality, and the need for sexual justice in our faith communities and society.

I just recently discovered your blog, and I appreciate it's existence. I linked to your Religious Declaration on Sexual Morality, Justice, and Healing from my blog:

I think you are doing very important work. Religious institutions need to step up to the plate when it comes to dealing with sexuality, and so far it seems that head-in-the-sand puritanism is the only thing on offer. It makes me proud to be a Unitarian Universalist when I see our denomination putting forward sensible, kind-hearted, inclusive views on this subject that seems to make many people of faith batty.
Your Declaration comes from a theistic point of view, and I'm a rather strident humanist, so I have to "translate" it into my own terms. But naturally as a UU I have a lot of experience doing this. Not that I'd want you to change the wording. I bet the majority of the people who would benefit from hearing your gospel (good news: God doesn't hate your sexual nature!) believe in God, too.
Keep up the good work.
