   a**Sacred Eros: Embodying the Divine in Our Sexualitiesa**
   Presented by ASC member Desmond Ravenstone

   Wednesday, September 5th at 6:30pm in the Hunnewell Chapel

   a**This is the challenge to progressive spiritual communities such as
   ours. If sexuality is as important an aspect of our being as any other,
   then is it not as much spiritual as anything else? If it is a source of
   joy, pleasure and connection, then should we not then see it as a means by
   which we may embody the Divine within and amongst ourselves? And if we
   wish, in the words of lesbian feminist theologian Virginia Ramey
   Mollenkott, to reclaim Eros as a spiritual urge, then should we not dare
   to rethink the very presumptions by which we view the myriad ways that we
   and our fellow human beings express and connect through sexuality?a**
