Kate Ott & Lorien Carter on Sexual Dimensions

Dr. Ott and Ms. Carter deliver a lecture entitled, “ReVisioning Teen Sexuality or Addressing Sexuality: Relational Joy and Embodied Flourishing.” This lecture was given on June 8, 2017 at Yale Divinity School as part of YMI's annual Summer Symposium.

Lecture Abstract
Sexuality and relationships are a major aspect of teen development. Instead of embracing the joy that healthy, holistic and ethically and developmentally appropriate sexuality can manifest in our lives, many youth ministry programs treat any expression of sexuality as a risk to be suppressed. Together, we will address why and how to integrate sexuality education throughout the faith formation experiences of teens.

About the Speakers
