Marvin Ellison to teach June course at Episcopal Divinity School

February 29, 2008 [Episcopal Divinity School] Dr. Marvin Ellison, Bass Professor of Christian Ethics at Bangor Theological Seminary in Maine, will teach a June term course at Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. "Sexuality and the Social Order" will offer a critical examination of personal and social dimensions of human sexuality, investigation into the meaning of sexual justice for church and society, and an opportunity to frame a constructive social ethic of sexuality for "keeping body and soul together" during these times. This course is offered from June 16-27.

"We are delighted to have Professor Marvin Ellison teach in our second June term at EDS," said the Rev. Dr. Sheryl Kujawa-Holbrook, EDS' academic dean. "Professor Ellison has been a long-time friend of the school, and has guest lectured in courses on social ethics and queer theologies for the past several years. A widely published authority on ethics and human sexuality, he has also worked in the field of reproductive ethics, economic justice, and same-sex unions. A remarkable teacher, it is our hope that current EDS students, as well as ministers-in-the-vicinity, and people interested in this topic will participate in this educational opportunity."
