A sexual ethic

A series of essays by Timothy Radcliffe OP has been published by Continuum. In Christianity and Sexuality in the Time of Aids, Radcliffe writes that bad sexual behaviour is usually linked with domination and violence.

He writes: "If a good sexual relationship overcomes the distortion of power, reaching for equality and mutuality, then it is a preaching of the Gospel to the society in which we live. It challenges the unjust power structures of every society."

It makes for interesting reading.
