"To offer sexuality education in a congregation
is to acknowledge that human sexuality is simply
too important
too beautiful and
too potentially dangerous
to be ignored in a religious community."
Rev. Lena Breen, Mt. Vernon, WA
Amy Johnson, Our Whole Lives teacher and member of Wayside UCC in Federal Way, WA, most recent article in The Federal Way Mirror: Our Righteouness is Killing Us.

For over 30 years, the United Church of Christ has encouraged churches to study human sexuality and has published life-span comprehensive resources for use not only in the faith community, but also in secular settings.
Our resources, Our Whole Lives-Sexuality and Our Faith , Created in God's Image and Affirming Persons, Saving Lives are age-appropriate, medically-accurate, and have both immediate relevance and applicability for later life.
In addition, they emphasize and underscore the values of love, mutuality, self worth, health, responsibility, justice and inclusivity.
