\"Reasoning
The book is available in the university bookstore and will be for sale at the close of the program.<\/div>\n

Ted Grimsrud<\/a> and Mark Thiessen Nation<\/a>, EMU and EMS theologians and professors, respectively, have taken on an issue that continues to vex and divide the Christian church – homosexuality. <\/p>\n

They will draw from their book, Reasoning Together: A Conversation on Homosexuality<\/em> (Herald Press, November, 2008) in discussing and debating all sides of the issue in an open forum 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 19, in Strite Conference Room 105 on first floor of EMU’s Campus Center. See campus map<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Dr. Grimsrud and Dr. Thiessen Nation “will engage in respectful yet passionate give-and-take over the differences between them as well as areas of agreement and consensus and field audience questions,” said Brian Martin Burkholder<\/a>, EMU campus pastor. <\/p>\n

“This event, part of a year-long campus emphasis on ‘Embodying Sexual Wholeness in a Broken World,’ is designed for people who want to hear more than one angle on this challenging issue,” Martin Burkholder stated. <\/p>\n

Grimsrud’s and Thiessen’s book is available in the university bookstore and will be for sale at the close of the program. The authors will be available for book signings. <\/p>\n

The event is sponsored by EMU campus ministries<\/a>. For more information, contact Martin Burkholder at 540-432-4115. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
