THE COMMUNITY CHURCH OF BOSTON
SUNDAY SPEAKERS FORUM presents...

JASON LYDON
"In the Spirit of Valentines Day: Sex, Sexuality, and the Left"

Due to the storms in December we did not have the opportunity to reflect on
the story of Saturnalia and thus the de-sexualizing of the winter season was
left without discussion. As Hallmark floods us with false romance around
Valentines Day we will discuss the history of sex radicals from Emma Goldman
to Alexander Berkman. The Right Wing churches spew lies and misinformation
about human sexuality from the pulpit Sunday after Sunday, we must create an
alternative to that. This Sunday we will speak honestly and openly about
human sexuality, its role in the Left and its necessity for holistic
fulfillment.

Jason Lydon is our Congregational Director
