The pace of change in social attitudes and legal frameworks in the West concerning gender identity and sexuality has been breath-taking. Combined with cancel culture and a sense that it is now unacceptable even to question the prevailing narratives, it seems that freedom of speech is under threat, especially in academic institutions. This session will seek to understand fairly the ideas behind this massive cultural shift, to develop a positive, Christ-centred, biblical vision of gender and sexuality, and to suggest principles for speaking and acting with grace and truth around these issues in the academic setting.
