The historical Calvin was so puritanical, he even condemned excessive lust for one's own wife. It's not that Calvin never considered today's "progressive" sexuality - he explicitly rejected it. Speaking as a lone Calvinist at a staunchly Lutheran (LCMS) institution, it is obvious to me that our professed adherence to Calvin is only window dressing by comparison. For my colleagues here, "What would Luther say?" is a boundary it is almost impossible to cross. - Tom Hobson Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:27:46 +0100
