Sexuality and Spirituality |
|
Heather Snidle and Paul Ballard The Social and Pastoral Care Unit, at the University of Cardiff Department of Religious and Theological Studies, and its predecessor the Social Work Resource Centre, has been working in the area of sexuality and spirituality for a some time in a wide variety of ways and in collaboration with a number of different bodies: notably the Church in Wales, and Cytun, the Council of Churches for Wales, in the fields of ministry and conscientization in relation to H.I.V. and AIDS, sexual abuse and sexuality and spirituality. From 1989 to 1992 the Church in Wales had a working group reflecting upon human sexuality under the chairmanship of Canon Leonard Deas. Many of these papers were originally published as part of their report in ADVENT the Journal of the Division for Social Responsibility in the Church of Wales. Out of these and other pieces of work a common theme appeared: the relationship between sexuality and spirituality. It is this theme that is the focus of this book. So a number of papers have been reassembled without regard to their original relationships and supplemented from other sources or added to for the occasion. These have been edited around the new focus yet with the intention of letting them speak for themselves, allowing different voices and their viewpoints to be heard. The various authors come from different church backgrounds, Anglican, Baptist, Catholic, Methodist and the United Reformed Church, reflecting the ecumenical nature of the book and of Social and Pastoral Care Unit.
