Between the lines

I'm coming to think that this issue is earnestly important for Christians to get a handle on. I think that it challenges some over-easy hermeneutics and ethical positions relating to gender and sexualitye. Third Way Magazine - Between the lines: "f God is as obsessed as the church about gender, why is one in every 2,500 people born with physical characteristics of both sexes?"
Unfortunately for the casual reader, it's not yet open to view unless you subscribe to the print mag -but then, they do need to make the money to keep commissioning such articles! I think that it is quite a nice theological reflection in the sense that it starts with an experience, explores the background and analytical issues and it relates these to properly identified theological matters which then begin to sketch out action trajectories. I'm hoping to be able to make it available to students in due course to help think about theological and ethical reflection.
