Lent Course 2006: The People of God: “Unit Four - Women and the Episcopate”
How important is this issue? We are still living in the aftermath of the decision of the Church to admit women to the priesthood. Is admitting women as bishops a logical step or is there something different about being a bishop from being a priest? What can we learn from the controversy over women priests? What qualities do we expect from our bishops?

Lent Course 2006: The People of God: “Unit Five - Civil Partnerships”
How important is this issue? Why are some people in the Church so inflamed about homosexual people? What is the relationship between theology, ethics and natural science? Is homosexuality natural, inherited, socially acquired, or sinful? To what extent are homosexual people worthy to be people of God?

Knowledge & Power
It is dangerous to confuse what we know about our own wishes with what we do not know about 'God's wishes'; that mistake has led to the Church's undue exercise of power, particularly in sexual matters.
