ADVENTIST HOT POTATOES ARTHUR BLINCI & BOB KYTE ADVENTIST RISK MANAGEMENT, INC. SOUTH AMERICAN RISK MANAGEMENT CONGRESS SANTIAGO, CHILE

The case of the... A NEW ARRIVAL FOR ELI AND SILVIA

The case of... THE HOMOSEXUAL CHURCH ELDER

The case of... THE BEAMING BRIDE IN THE SPRING WEDDING

HOMOSEXUALS WELCOMED? SDA Church opposes homosexual practice and relationships. SDA Church does NOT oppose homosexuals. Homosexuals are welcomed as members in the Church so long as they do not practice or promote a homosexual lifestyle. SDA Church only recognizes monogamous marriages between a man and a woman.

OFFICIAL STATEMENTS AND DOCUMENTS A Statement of Concern on Sexual Behavior – 1987 An Affirmation of Family – 1990 An Affirmation of Marriage – 1996 SDA Statement Position Statement on Homosexuality – 1999 Statement on 50 th Anniversary of Universal Declaration of Human Rights – 1998 SDA Response to Same-Sex Unions– A Reaffirmation of Christian Marriage – 2004 Safeguarding Mission in Changing Social Environments – 2007

The case of... THE CHANGING TEACHER

WHAT IS THE LAW? More than 2/3 of the US population is located in jurisdictions that bar discrimination on the basis of gender identity or expression. All federal employees are protected from discrimination based on gender identity or expression. Gender identity issues are not the same as sexual orientation (e.g. homosexuality). Do not approach them that way. Surgery is not considered mandatory to gender identity.

SOME PRACTICAL CHALLENGES? Use of restrooms is one of the biggest practical issues that arise in gender identity transition. How do you deal with the issue of privacy versus informing people? How do you deal with the issue of marriage of the person and their children? How do you deal with the issue of ordination of a male pastor or transitions to female? What happens if the transition takes place during employment for your organization?

The case of... THE STRAYING YOUTH PASTOR

The case of... THE FORGIVEN PEDOPHILE

Are there degrees of sexual abuse? Does a 19-year-old male (18 being adult) who has consensual sexual relations with his 17-year-old girlfriend and convicted of statutory rape have to be treated the same as a pedophile? Does a person charged with one incident of molestation with a 13-year-old girl by touching her inappropriately at his home differ from the predator who has molested six children and done so during his time volunteering at the church school?

The case of... THE EXPECTING TEACHER

The case of... THE MISSING COMPUTER

The case of... THE BLESSED PASTOR AND THE INVESTMENT SPECIALIST
