Description

Rick Warren, a conservative Evangelical Christian, discusses his Biblical stance on homosexuality.  He focuses on ‘love the sinner, hate the sin’; that each of us have different worldviews and his is based on the Bible; it doesn’t particularly matter whether you’re born or choose to be gay; and homosexuality is a sin, but feeling attraction isn’t.  This is a great discussion piece to expose students to conservative Christian views they may not otherwise hear.
