6. TOB and Same Sex Attraction

Jan 1

Written By Megan Burwell & Morgan Holliger

Over the past decade or so there has been a dramatic change in attitude in society concerning homosexuality, or same-sex attraction, culminating in the legalization of gay marriage. There are many questions surrounding SSA and what the Church really teaches about it. With so much confusion and the Church too often being vilified and misunderstood for speaking God's truth, it is important that we examine not only what the Church teaches, but WHY? Join us for an overview of this huge and emotionally charged topic for a compassionate and straight forward explanation. You might be surprised!

Megan Burwell & Morgan Holliger

Megan Burwell received a degree in Speech Language Pathology from Bowling Green State University. Her greatest passion though, lies in learning about the human person through the teachings of the Theology of the Body. This passion brought her to Washington DC to pursue graduate studies at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for studies on Marriage and Family. Her love of working in healthcare as well as for beginning and end of life issues led her to specialize in Biotechnology and Ethics within her MA in Theology. Megan most of all loves her family, living life in community, admiring nature, and learning new and beautiful things.

After receiving her BA in English at Bowling Green State University, Morgan Holliger moved to Washington D.C. to study at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute where she obtained a Master of Theological Studies in Marriage and Family and is currently studying for her PhD. Morgan is a convert to the Catholic faith, which she largely credits to her encounter with Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body in her senior year of high school. She has been involved in ministry since college, most notably serving as a co-host alongside Megan Burwell of a young adult group in Bowling Green, OH entitled "TOB Tuesday", which focused on studying the themes of the Theology of the Body. In her free time, Morgan loves music and singing, cooking and good conversations with friends.
