Dr Jeffrey Satinover to visit Northern Ireland, 19th & 20th June, 2009
What does science really say about homosexuality?
In an informal setting, psychiatrist Jeffrey Satinover examines what is reported in the popular press and shows that much of the research is flawed, none of it says that homosexuality is genetic and most of it points to the fact that homosexuality is changeable.
Dr Satinover’s insight draws on modern science and psychological understanding of habit, compulsion and addiction. Homosexuality, he notes, is “but one of the many complications typical of our imperfect natures”.
Revered tradition and modern scientific research come together to offer not just compassion, but hope in this important opportunity to consider one of the most contentious issues of our time for the church and society.
You are invited to meet Dr Satinover on Friday 19th and/or Saturday 20th June 2009 (from 10.00am to 13.00 pm)
Refreshments and a light lunch will be provided.
The opportunity provides space for church leaders, pastors, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, counsellors, Christian Union leaders and church lay-persons to raise issues
and discuss questions around this important issue. The event will be useful for those who seek change, and for the friends and family who support them.
