Chastity
Not something one hears much about as an Episcopalian these days … I think the highest ethic that can be eeked out is
- Be “respectful” (be nice about using one another for pleasure)
- Be “responsible” (condoms and contraceptives)
- And above all, DON’T BE “JUDGEMENTAL”!!!! (meaning, thinking that there are moral standards for sex beyond the previous two)
[Apolgies to the brave exceptions fighting the good fight for sexual sanity within the ECUSA these days …]
Dawn Eden has a very nice meditation on the meaning of chastity,
The Innocence Mission.

[This was going to be part of a longer post, where I quoted Dawn more extensively to show how excellently witty and insightful she is, and tried to put some insight of my own into it. Sadly, it has languished in my ‘Drafts’ folder for far too long. So, this is just going to be a plug for Dawn’s blog with some older links. Go, read — she does good work.]
