RE: [asa] homosexuality: recommended resource

Last year, in preparation for the biannual convention of the ELCIC
(Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada), a conservative group arranged for
Prof. Robert Gagnon [Pittsburgh Theological Seminary] to give a series of
talks in Edmonton. His presentations were made available on DVDs to
individual congregations to study. I think he made a very convincing case
against the homosexual practice. Just Googling his name led me to his web
site, http://www.robgagnon.net/ArticlesOnline.htm and I notice that he has a
response to one of David Myers' books on that website. I have not read it
yet (it's 112 pages!) so I cannot comment but it's worth noting.

Subject: [asa] homosexuality: recommended resource

For those that want to gain some perspective, I recommend the article,
Accepting What Cannot Be Changed, by David G. Myers. I did a search
and found it at this site:

http://www.davidmyers.org/Brix?pageID=90

Myers is a psychology professor at Hope College in Holland
Michigan. The article is fairly short, well-written and contains some
original thoughts. For example, he makes the point that unlike sexual
behavior and other moral tendencies, sexual orientation does not
appear to be affected by active faith. On the down side, it is written
for a general audience so there is not as much documentation as some
would like.
