Join us as we dive deep into how Anglicanism offers a balanced and loving approach to complex issues like LGBTQ+ affirmation. Through the lens of the three-legged stool—Scripture, Tradition, and Reason—we’ll explore how these guiding principles can help us understand and engage with LGBTQ+ identities in a way that reflects God’s love, grace, and justice.

❤️ Why This Matters: This course is for anyone who wants to engage with LGBTQ+ issues in a way that is intellectually honest, biblically grounded, and most importantly, loving. We believe that the Church should be a place where ALL are embraced—where diversity is celebrated, dignity is affirmed, and love is the foundation.

Course Objective:

This course aims to help participants explore Anglican theology through the lens of the three-legged stool—Scripture, Tradition, and Reason. Participants will understand how these three elements work together to form a well-rounded approach to interpreting Scripture thoughtfully and pastorally, particularly on complex issues like LGBTQ+ inclusion. The course will focus on how the Anglican tradition fosters inclusivity, grace, and intellectual honesty while navigating contemporary social issues through a balanced theological framework.

Course Introduction:

In the Anglican tradition, theology is built on the careful balance between Scripture, Tradition, and Reason—a model known as the “three-legged stool.” This approach ensures that theology is intellectually robust, historically grounded, and contextually relevant. While Scripture is seen as the ultimate source of authority, Tradition and Reason guide the Church in interpreting the Bible with wisdom, grace, and compassion. In this course, we will explore how the Anglican Church uses this model to address contemporary issues, particularly those surrounding LGBTQ+ inclusion. By examining foundational biblical principles, historical Church teachings, and the insights of modern thought, we will learn how to approach LGBTQ+ issues with a focus on love, justice, and inclusion.

課程目標

本課程旨在透過聖公宗的三腳凳框架——聖經、傳統與理性，幫助參與者探索聖公宗神學。參與者將理解這三個要素如何協同運作，形成一種周全的方式，能夠用深思熟慮且充滿牧養精神的角度解讀聖經，尤其針對如 LGBTQ+ 包容等複雜議題。課程將重點探討聖公宗傳統如何在處理當代社會問題時，通過平衡的神學框架促進包容、恩典與智識誠實。

課程介紹

在聖公宗傳統中，神學建立在聖經、傳統與理性之間的精心平衡上——這種模式被稱為「三腳凳」。這種方法確保了神學在智識上嚴謹、在歷史上有根基、並在上下文中具相關性。雖然聖經被視為最高權威的來源，但傳統與理性引導教會以智慧、恩典和憐憫來解讀聖經。在本課程中，我們將探討聖公宗如何利用這一框架來處理當代議題，特別是 LGBTQ+ 包容相關的議題。通過檢視聖經的基礎原則、歷史教會的教導以及現代思想的見解，我們將學習如何以愛、公義與包容為核心來面對 LGBTQ+ 議題。
