The Church and Sexuality

by Christos Yannaras

Church” and “sexuality” are two words that relate to the human being as a relationship that takes place, not as an individual, not as an undifferentiated unit of the species. They refer to human existence as an active event and an effective presence, before both event and presence are “immobilized” by abstract thought into a conceptual entity.
