Talk by Dr. George Locke
? Sunday, 23rd November
? 6:30 PM
? Secular Hall, 75 Humberstone Gate, Leicester (LE1 1WB)
?️ Hosted by Leicester Secular Society
In this thought-provoking talk, Dr George Locke explores how early Christian communities grappled with questions of sex, gender roles, and identity. Set against the backdrop of Greco-Roman culture, emerging theologies, and shifting social norms, the early Church held diverse and sometimes conflicting views on celibacy, marriage, purity, and gendered bodies. ✨?
Far from presenting a single moral code, early Christian thought expressed a wide range of perspectives—echoes of which can still be heard in today’s debates around gender, sexuality, and inclusion within religious traditions. ?️➡️?
