085 (Vid): God Loveth His Children -- The New LDS Pamphlet on Homosexuality Part 1

A new pamphlet about homosexuality appeared on the churchâs website
in late July, 2007. The pamphlet is entitled God Loveth His
Children, and, among other things, says that the Church does not
know what causes same-sex attractions but does not believe sexual
abuse and sexual experimentation in childhood are responsible. It
declares that same-sex attractions are not considered sinful but
affirms that acting on those attractions is incompatible with Godâs
plan for families in the afterlife. It urges same-sex attracted LDS
members to remain active in the church and asks other members to
treat them with love and respect. This panel will discuss this new
pamphlet and welcomes a wide-ranging and frank discussion of this
important topic.
