“Sex and the Church”: Sexuality, Misconduct, and Education in Methodism

Pages 32-43 | Published online: 14 Mar 2011
 

Abstract

This article describes Methodism’s efforts to address misconduct within ministerial relationships as an important dimension of sexuality education within a religious context. The United Methodist Church (UMC) makes a concerted effort to promote awareness, justice, and healing in cases of sexual abuse within ministerial relationships. The most prominent programs and strategies are framed by a professional ethics paradigm, as illustrated by ministries of the UMC's Commission on Women. Understanding this foundation and programmatic emphasis is vital for sexuality educators attempting to work with Christian churches to promote a more holistic approach to sexual health.
