Sexual Sin "is so abundantly common and has grown to such a height that among many it is counted no sin at all, but rather a pastime, a dalliance, and but a touch of youth--not rebuked but winked at, not punished but laughed at." Thomas Becon wrote these words in the 16th century, words no less relevant today than they were then! The manuscript for this episode is from the work of Rev. Dr. Lee Gatiss, "The First Book of Homilies: The Church of England's Official Sermons in Modern English," published by Church Society/Lost Coin.
