Special Presentation at St. John’s, Algoma

Special Presentation: Tradition and Revision in Sexual Ethics

Rev. Dr. Gilbert Meilaender

As part of the Hearts and Re-Creation series, our sister congregation, St. John’s Lutheran Church in Algoma, WI, will be hosting a special presentation from Rev. Dr. Gilbert Meilaender.

Dr. Meilaender summarizes: “Learning from Christian tradition how to think about ourselves as sexual beings, we can better understand the distortions of our culture.”

One of the nation’s preeminent bioethicists, Professor Meilaender has written extensively on the body, human identity, and the meaning of emerging technologies. He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University. Professor Meilaender is a Fellow of the Hastings Center and was a member of the President’s Council on Bioethics from 2002 to 2008.
