CHRISTIAN ETHICS IN A POST-MODERN SOCIETY – WHO NEEDS IT?

The sexual revolution as a case study

Rev. Dr. Mathew Clark

Tuesday 17th October

8pm at Lindisfarne House

4 Barbourne Terrace, Worcester WR1 3JS

Dr Mathew Clark

A popular book once argued that men and women come from different planets – Mars and Venus. This useful metaphor can be invoked in understanding differences in the basic understanding that each of us brings to any discussion of issues such as human sexuality, science and religion, and the value of human life. In 1945 both religious and public morality affirmed (yes, often hypocritically) that legitimate sexual intimacy should occur solely within the bounds of a permanent hetero-sexual marriage covenant. For a sixteen-year old in 2017 UK, 1945 sounds like an alien planet. This talk focuses on the philosophical and cultural transition underlying the change, and reflects on the dynamics of two opposing world-views in conflict: Judaeo-Christian and secular humanist.

Rev. Dr. Clark is the Dean of Doctoral Studies at Regent’s Theological College, Malvern.
