‘GOD SAYS SEX IS GOOD’ Christian Union Ministry Fellow Gives Timely Lecture at Harvard Posted May 18, 2012 By Catherine Elvy, Staff Writer for The Ivy League Christian Observer
Through his lecture during Sex Week and the
Sex and Spirituality Bible Course he leads, Nick
Nowalk, a Christian Union ministry fellow at
Harvard, is teaching students about God's design
and intent for human sexuality.
“Let There Be Sex.” That was
one of the headlines on the
front page of The Harvard
Crimson the day after Christian Union
Ministry Fellow Nick Nowalk presented a
lecture during the university’s inaugural
Sex Week in March.
Nowalk and Harvard College Faith and
Action, a leadership development ministry
supported and resourced by Christian
Union, added a Christian perspective to
Sex Week, which included seminars such
as “What What (In the Butt): Anal Pleasure
101,” the “8th Annual Female Orgasm Seminar,”
and “Sex-Positivity and Slut-Pride.”
In addition to the attention generated
by a photo and caption on the front page
of The Crimson, Nowalk’s talk, “God
Says Sex is Good,” helped dispel some
myths regarding sexuality and sparked a
conversation on campus. Interest came
from believers longing for
clarity regarding God’s design
and intent for human
sexuality and curious non-
Christians. Click Here For Full Story
‘FORNICATION 101’ Despite Reforms, Sex Week Is Still a Lewd Exhibition Posted May 18, 2012 By Catherine Elvy, Staff Writer for The Ivy League Christian Observer
Dr. Anthony Esolen, professor
at Providence College, was a
speaker during True Love Week
at Yale. His seminar was hijacked
by students opposed to his views
on “same-sex marriage.”
The vast philosophical and
moral differences behind Sex
Week 2012 and True Love
Week sparked controversy when the competing
events took place in February at
Yale University.
Garnering the most attention, a group
of students protested a key talk by Anthony
Esolen during True Love Week,
when the visiting English professor addressed
the idea that each person is a gift
from God. The Princeton alumnus of 1981
is known for his traditional views on marriage.
About 10 minutes into Esolen’s talk,
heterosexual and “homosexual” couples
emerged from the audience and began
kissing after a cue from a cell phone that
blasted the 1980 hit song, “I’m Coming
Out.” Click Here for Full Story
