Resource paper
We live in a highly sexualised society. During the last 50 or so years, sex has become part of ordinary discussion in both academic and popular culture. There are many issues that emerge from this relatively new ‘freedom’. The G,S&C has produced this resource paper to help Christians navigate the many issues: http://gsandc.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Sexualisation_Resource_paper.pdf
