Dignity/Washington Hosted Noted Scholar/Author on Human Sexuality

On Saturday, April 25, Dignity/Washington hosted its final speaker in its 2014-2015 Lecture Series with Dr. Gilles Herrada who presented on Homosexuals and the Church in the 21st Century:  How To Transcend Two Thousand Years of Mutual Incomprehension. Drawing on his recent award-winning book The Missing Myth:  A New Vision of Same-Sex Love, he spoke about his transdisciplinary research on the evolution of sexuality, science, and myth, and articulated an integrated vision on how best to understand the evolution of symbolic realities in human culture. Sounds obtuse?  Far from it:  it was a fascinating ride. Dr. Herrada has worked at Columbia and Harvard Universities and has published in top scientific journals. Dignity/Washington was honored to feature his talk. For more information, please visit his websites:  www.themissingmyth.com and www.lifeasacreation.com
