September 06 Venerating the Human Body
The first sermon out of 5 in our Creation Care series. During Creation Care season this year, I am going to talk about what it means for us to be embodied, physical, sexual (or asexual), gendered (or not-gendered) creatures, made in the image of God.

Here’s a breakdown of the series:

1.) Venerating the Human Body
2.) God is a Feminist: Women’s Equality is an Act of Creation Care
3.) God is Not a Cisgender Heterosexual Dude: Giving the Bible and the Christian Tradition Back to the LGBT+ Community
4.) The Human Being as the Priest of the Cosmos
5.) The Erotic Spirituality of the Saints
