Jesus Seminar on the Road is coming to the Boulder United Methodist Church with their seminar series Jesus and Paul, Sex and Power September 27-28, 2019. “Did Jesus practice gender equality? Is Paul the source of our sexual hang-ups? This seminar asks how the historical Jesus handled the issues of gender and sexuality with reference to the social hierarchy of first-century Palestine. It will also discuss how Paul understood social relations, including same-sex relationships. Addressing such issues stemming from Jesus and Paul may change attitudes toward sexuality.” For more information, and to register, please visit the Boulder UMC website.
