Synopsis of Talk – Theology of Sexuality

Talk of Christianity and human sexuality often quickly devolves into intractable debates about moral quandaries and legal battles. It seems like the Christian faith is perpetually mired in controversy with the world. However, the Christianity has a more profound and substantial insight into the good of the human body than these debates alone can capture. Together let us rediscover, in our rich Christian heritage, a way of thinking about the good of human sexuality and the body.

Synopsis of Talk – 377A: To Keep or to Repeal?

Section 377A of the Penal Code is a Singapore law that criminalises acts of “gross indecency” between male persons. It is a controversial law, and there have been many attempts to push for its repeal.  Should Singapore keep or repeal Section 377A? How should we address the push to decriminalise homosexual acts?

In this session, Darius Lee will explore the topic from the perspective of law and public policy, and how we can speak the truth in love on such controversial issues.
