MELBOURNE -- Sermons about sex -- and advertisements depicting sockless feet snuggling between bedsheets -- have landed a church in hot water with Brevard Public Schools officials.
The school district's risk-management department has threatened to boot New Hope Church out of Sherwood Elementary, its new home for Sunday services.
Why? A worship series titled "Great Sex for You."
Last week, church leaders mailed 25,000 colorful fliers to Melbourne households, asking residents "Is Your Sex Life A Bore?" and inviting them to go to the school to "learn how to have the Great Sex that God created you to enjoy!"
The three-week program kicked off Sunday morning inside the school auditorium. Seated on stage in black jeans and an untucked collared shirt, Bible in hand, Pastor Bruce Cadle said the Christian church has been "shamefully silent" on the typically taboo topic.
I am thrilled that a church is taking this topic on in a mature, God centered way. Why is it that the schools can talk about sex to our children, but a church can't use the same building to preach what God says about sex within a marriage? Seems like a bit of a double standard to me.
