Kristent Ressurssenter is now establishing an Advisory Board consisting of professionals and experienced individuals who will help ensure quality and further develop a new teaching and resource program within sexuality, relationships, family and life skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The work is linked to the development and quality assurance of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 A new sexually conservative and biblical framework for teaching about sexuality, relationships, marriage, family and responsibility developed by sexologist and author Tone Lise Gustavsen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 A new website that will provide alternative and better answers than what young people get on ung.no about gender and sex, with resources and answers for young people, young adults, parents and professionals<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sexuality education shapes norms, expectations and choices. We see a growing need for resources that are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 rooted in biblical anthropology (view of humanity, creative order, responsibility, morality)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 knowledge-based (empiricism, clinical experience, psychology, public health, biology)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 realistic about gender, body, attachment and consequences<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 pedagogically feasible in meeting with youth and young adults<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kristent Ressurssenter wants to establish a team of 8-12 professionals who will help maintain high professional and ethical standards, and who can point out blind spots, strengthen arguments, ensure precision and contribute to making the resources robust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We especially invite people with a background or experience in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 School\/teaching (teachers, lecturers, advisers, school management, special education)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don't have to "agree on everything", but you must be able to guarantee that the project is based on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 that current sexuality education has shortcomings and is largely based on queer theory, sex-positive philosophy and liberal sexology (examples of problems are presented at the start)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 The Bible as a normative framework, with particular emphasis on the Bible's view of the body, fidelity, and marriage (e.g., Matt. 19:4\u20136; 1 Cor. 6:18\u201320; Eph. 5:31\u201333)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 that biology and reality set the framework for human gender and good choices (body, consequence, identity, fertility, differences)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 that young people deserve honest, verifiable and comprehensive advice to be able to make the best possible informed choices for their lives<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Voluntary contribution (estimated low scope, possibility of moderate scope for particularly committed people)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Needs may change as resources are deployed and users provide feedback<\/p>\n\n\n\n
