Christianity and sexual orientation : ウィキペディア英語版 | Christianity and sexual orientation
Christian denominations have a variety of beliefs about sexual orientation, including beliefs about same-sex sexual practices and asexuality. Denominations differ in the way they treat lesbian, bisexual, and gay people; variously, such people may be barred from membership, accepted as laity, or ordained as clergy, depending on the denomination. As asexuality is relatively new to public discourse, few Christian denominations discuss it.〔http://asexualawarenessweek.com/docs/PRIDE-Asexuality-and-Christianity.pdf〕 Asexuality may be considered the lack of a sexual orientation, or one of the four variations thereof, alongside heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality. ==Asexuality== As asexuality is relatively new to public discourse, few Christian denominations discuss it and the Bible does not clearly state a view on it.〔 However, some Christians have recently made statements on the subject. In the Christian magazine ''Vision'', David Nantais, S.J. and Scott Opperman, S.J. wrote in 2002, "Question: What do you call a person who is asexual? Answer: Not a person. Asexual people do not exist. Sexuality is a gift from God and thus a fundamental part of our human identity. Those who repress their sexuality are not living as God created them to be: fully alive and well. As such, they're most likely unhappy people with which to live.” 〔〔http://www.vocationnetwork.org/articles/show/49〕 Asexuality may be considered the lack of a sexual orientation, or one of the four variations thereof, alongside heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality.
