CSR Symposium on Religion and Sexuality Post-Obergefell

OSU Faculty Club
October 21, 2016
2:30 pm - 5:30 pm
OSU Faculty Club, Grand Lounge

Please join The Center for the Study of Religion at The Ohio State University for a Symposium on Religion and Sexuality Post-Obergefell. Last year’s Supreme Court ruling that requires states to allow same-sex marriages is just one signal milestone in changing civil law concerning marriage and sexuality. How are participants in the religious tradition(s) you study engaging with this new civil environment? What resources does the tradition offer to adherents to adapt to and/or resist the changing social and legal context? What do you see happening in the next few years?
