Student Series: Homosexuality and the
Adventist Campus - Andrews
 In series this weekend, students from four Adventist colleges and universities - Andrews, PUC, La Sierra, Southern - share their experience of engaging the issues surrounding homosexual identity on campus.
Demographic data continues to show that beyond hermeneutics, geography and generation condition how folks approach this issue. The pat answers and concomitant silence that might have worked regarding same-gender relationships a generation or two ago now serves to slide the next generation back from a future of engaging faith and reason in an Adventist context.
Among the most successful parochial systems in the world Seventh-day Adventist education is one of the safest places where Adventists have the freedom to articulate their own future in the Adventist mission. Recent studies (Religion and Ethics) and (Faith in Public Life) show that a majority (56%) of evangelical Christians under 30 favor civil unions or same-gender marriage. Roger Dudley's recent data (published in Spectrum) reveals similar generational shifts among Seventh-day Adventists.
