by Stephen Cox 21st September 2012

‘Sexual morality is an area of challenge and opportunity for living our testimonies to truth, nonviolence, equality, integrity and love.’  Quaker faith & practice, 22.11   ‘We think it our duty, not to stand on a peak of perfectionism, asking for an impossible conformity while the tide of human life sweeps by us, but to recognise, in compassion, the complications and bewilderment that love creates, and to ask how we can find a constructive way in each of an immense variety of particular experiences.’  Towards a Quaker View of Sex
