• Healthy Relationships

  Here’s the second video with Marion Chatterley from Waverley Care – take a look:
  

  marion chatterley #2 – healthy relationships.movie from Kelvin Holdsworth on Vimeo.

  In this one we focus on what healthy and unhealthy relationships look like.

  We talk about why hidden relationships are common in church communities and how that puts people at risk.

  Then we go on to talk about how healthy relationships are messy but that they are celebrating both people as holistic beings. That includes allowing people to be sexual and spiritual beings.

  Along the way, we spoke about whether or not there is just one true love out there for a person. Again we pick up on dating apps and talk about what people are really looking for when using them. Why do church leaders have so much to say about marriage and so little to say about dating apps?

  We relate this to the big changes we made to the marriage liturgy in the Scottish Episcopal Church a few years ago.

  And then I ask Marion whether she just think anything goes.

  Take a look at the video – comments and questions welcome.
