text: I should have said what I mean by a theology of homosexuality. The field of theology that addresses questions of nature and grace, sin and salvation, is usually called Christian Anthropology. The traditional assumptions of Christian Anthropology include the idea that there is a human nature fixed in its substance and that human nature is expressed in beings that are male and female, who come together to partner with God in the ongoing work of creation. 
  
  I think same-sex research challenges that idea to the core. (I also think that the traditional categories of sin and salvation are obsolete, but that's a topic for another discussion.)  The question posed by a theology of homosexuality would be, in my opinion, whether "nature" can be retained as a meaningful category for religious language, realizing that to question it is to question both Nicaea and Chalcedon. The challenge would be to articulate a new understanding of "nature" that encompasses the full range of sexual experience.
