Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts,
to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections:
for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another;
men with men working that which is unseemly,
and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Romans 1:24,26,27
"Shakespeare Walla Walla's Works in Progress series continues with a staged reading on April 1 at the Gesa Power House Theatre.
About the Play:
The modern gay rights movement often involves conflicts between organized religions and
"A Gay SDA Play" explores the real-life struggles between the Seventh-day Adventist religion, which is strongly represented in our community, and the individuals who come out within its membership. Based on more than two dozen interviews conducted by the playwright, "A Gay SDA Play" adapts verbatim dialog from those interviews into a documentary-style play, or docu-drama. This play contains frank discussions of sexuality.
This staged reading is directed by Walla Walla University English Professor LuAnn Venden, and has a cast of 14 actors:" WallaWalla
"The subjects of "Gay SDA Play" are a diverse lot—lesbian women, gay men, transgender and transsexual individuals, and bisexual individuals whose stories take place in Virginia, Florida, rural Canada, Andrews University, Chicago, Manhattan and Taiwan. They are artists, stock brokers, social workers, lawyers and communications specialists for Sprint PCS, among other things, but they have in common Adventism and non-heterosexual identities.
Nelson said he hopes the play will attract audiences from both the surrounding Adventist community and non-Adventist theater goers alike. "My hope is that it sparks conversation," he said. "The Adventist Church in particular, but religions in general have differing opinions of sexuality. The more conversations in various formats, the better off we are." Spectrum
Q: Who at Walla Walla is going to be FIRED for allowing/promoting this nonsense? What would Paul say if he were there? [read Romans 1 for what Paul would say]....or what would E.G.W. say if she were there?...Oh, that's right...this is one reason why these progressive "Adventists" hate Mrs. White & loathe the mention of her name....
