Rediscovering Our Lost Fullness: A Guide to Sexual Integration. On Demand

Target Audience: The intended audience would encompass all participants of the CPA conference.

Course Level: Beginner

Learning Objectives: 

• A guide to sexual integration based on The Theology of the Body and Josef Pieper’s take on the
  cardinal virtues.
• Culled from decades of experience with faith communities around the globe, I'll present a model of
  pastoral gathering that is heterogeneous, united through Christ in our disordered differences, and
  committed to integration together as we learn to reverence our bodies in this one Body.
• As practitioners for a range of brokenness, we have one goal—robust integration—that unites us all in Almighty mercy and one body.

‘Rediscovering’ is a hopeful guide to sexual integration. On truthful bones (St. John Paul ll’s ‘Theology of the Body’ from which the title is lifted, and Josef Pieper’s take on the cardinal virtues), I flesh out my 42 years of accompanying persons out of sexual brokenness and into wholeness (I am Founder/Director of Desert Stream Ministries). I seek to ‘incarnate’ hope amid struggle through exuberant witnesses: in truth and in practice, merciful Jesus engages our divided selves and loves us into ‘our lost fullness.’ My presentation will speak into this current cultural phenomenon that equates justice with championing sexual disintegration, and how our Catholic moral ethos is ‘good news’ to the sexually broken.
