HEALTHY YOUTH SEXUALITY: A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF FOR THE STRENGTH OF YOUTH

Utilizing For the Strength of Youth as a framework to discuss the Church’s approach to youth and sexuality, this presentation proposes healthier ways of approaching youth sexuality education, starting with the twin issues of dress and modesty. The presenters draw upon two important models for sexuality education within a religious community, “Circles of Sexuality” (Dailey, 1981) and the “Religious Sexual Value System” (Stayton, 1992; Stayton, 2007).
