Hilary Brand, author of popular Lent course booklets, has written a similar-styled course for Christian groups to explore issues of same-sex relationships, one of the most challenging and divisive subjects of the modern-day Church. Based on a course written for and conducted in her own village church, with participants representing a diverse range of viewpoints, this course does not seek to provide the answers but to allow discussion and exploration of the issues in a tolerant and compassionate environment. It goes beyond issues of sexuality to consider broader questions of how we form our ethical opinions, how we react to a changing society and how we understand the Bible. The five-week course is designed to be suitable for use at any time of year, including Lent.
