LAITY CONVERSATIONS AROUND THE ISSUES OF HUMAN SEXUALITY The purpose of these gatherings is to come together as faithful, prayerful disciples of Jesus Christ to listen and share with one another on the issues of Human Sexuality that face our denomination. It is not to argue or persuade others of our views, but rather to model Christ-like conversations even in the midst of differences. In Christ, Rev. Beth Jones and Rev. Larry L. Leland, Jr., Human Sexuality Summit Conveners
