Plain talk about deep feelings

WARREN BOLON, SENIOR WRITER

Many people of all ages are struggling with questions about love, identity, and sexuality. They're searching for clearer, more soul-satisfying answers.

Some readers have asked, Can the Sentinel cover these issues more thoroughly, with openness and honesty—especially the issue of sexuality in relationships? They want to know how others have prayed about their thoughts, feelings, and actions. This week's content is one step in that direction.

To get the conversation going, we've gathered writers with a range of views, insights, and experiences in praying their way through these key elements of human life. Among them is frequent Sentinel contributor Ginny Luedeman, who brings to the table her experience as a Christian Science practitioner and public speaker, as well as a wife and mom. From her perspective as a spiritual thinker and healer, Ginny has spoken about love and sexuality at recent gatherings of teens and young adults. In her conversation with staff editor Ingrid Peschke, Ginny notes that "sexuality is really just the surface of a lot of deep things that need to be looked at and understood." And she asks, "Isn't it important to understand the deep feelings that we're having and see them in relation to our spirituality?"
