Sermons that focus on sexuality and the erotic

Abstract:  Rev Dale suggests that one of the giants roaming the US culture is sexual repression, and the stormy seas of today is the pain and suffering that result. She challenges Christians to step forward to address this rampant fear of sexuality, and to heal the damage that has been created as a result.

Abstract:  David’s violence against Bathsheba is the catalyst to reflect on our cultural obsession with sexuality and Christendom’s obsession with asexuality. If we are to be rooted in love as the writer to the Ephesian Christians says, then how shall we sort through the conflicting messages from the church and society about our bodies? How shall we live righteous lives and still embrace a positive view of our bodies without being seduced by the body objectification of our culture?

 

What do others say about Rev Bev?

“Dr. Beverly Dale, with creativity and sensitivity, broke the silence in our church about erotic love. Using her wonderful gifts of drama,  dance and song she invited us to listen to the passionate, sensual and joyful God who is incarnate within each of us. Dr. Dale's own spirit  filled presentation encouraged us all to live more abundantly as  embodied women and men.”

Rev Marcus Pomeroy, Co-Pastor, Central Baptist Church, Wayne PA

“Rev. Dale has a passion to present an alternative way for society and the Church to offer to all human beings about our gift of sexuality. Her skills of script writing, music composition and performance, and acting bring a special way to get people to share and discuss, which, for many, is a step toward healing of their past painful experiences with sex in their lives.”

Kathy Stayton


“Rev. Dale brings integrity, knowledge and an openness toward discussion of human sexuality that is beneficial to understanding and learning.”

Rev. Dr. W. Darwin Collins -- Regional Minister -- Disciples of Christ in Pennsylvania


“Healthy conversation on sexuality is key to healthy churches and healthy people. Rev. Dale is engaged in those efforts and is willing and able to help others do the same. Let the conversations begin!”

Mary E. Hunt, Ph.D -- Women's Alliance for Theology, Ethics and Ritual


"She is comfortable with any subject that students bring up around sexuality, spirituality, or religion and replies with clear, solid theological responses. She does this through humor, fun exercises, games, and performances such as "An Irreverent Journey from Eggbeaters to Vibrators." What woman clergy would dare to do that? Answer: Beverly Dale." 

Rev. Dr. William Stayton -- Executive Director -- Center for Sexuality and Religion
