Christmas can be a difficult time of year, especially for those who have lost a loved one.

THE GENDER REVOLUTION
Trans, Bi, Ace, Enby, Cis, Pansexual, Agender, Intersex, Fluid. You may have heard these and other sex and gender labels from the LGBTQIA++++ spectrum. You may know someone who identifies by one or even a combination of these. Some of you or your children may feel challenged to select an identity label or a ‘preferred pronoun’ from this ever-growing neo-vocabulary. Others may be confused, even confronted by the plethora of terminology. If you are a Christian, you are probably feeling uncertain and unprepared to deal with the issues that arise.
This presentation will:
Describe the empirical research basis of the four categories of sex and gender
(i) Biological sex
(ii) Gendered behaviour
(iii) Sexual orientation and
(iv) Gender identity;
Discuss the narrative of sex and gender in current postmodern post-truth culture of radical individualism and transgender ideology; and
Consider what God has to say in the Bible on sex and gender. And how this contributes to a holistic and healthy life
The presentation will explore the importance of speaking truth on sex and gender while maintaining compassion for those who struggle with sexual and gender concerns.
