Celebrating Sex

Liverpool Cathedral, School of Theology presents a study in the Song of Songs

Christians rarely read the Song of Songs, and when they do, they often make it into just an allegory, celebrating the love that Christ has for the Church.

Of course it does do that, but it is also the celebration of the love between a man and a woman, as they stand together, naked and unashamed. We live in a society that cheapens and demeans sex. In response to this, Christians want to affirm that they are made as sexual beings and celebrate all that means for them.

Dr Jules Gomes, Dwelly Raven Canon of the Cathedral, and lecturer at Liverpool Hope University, will take us through the Song of Songs, helping us to understand more of what the text means and how we can apply it to our lives today.

The session takes place on Saturday 28th May 2011, from 9.30am to 12.30pm and costs £10 (£5 concessions). Why not download a leaflet? Bookings can be made through Liverpool Cathedral shop.
