Just how does the Bible relate to the issues surrounding homosexuality?  This topic will be addressed in a series of five Monday evening events to be held in different communities of the Quad Cities.  Each stand-alone event will show ways in which the scriptures are seen as not condemning same-gender relationships.  Indeed the scriptures can be seen as being open to affirmation of such relationships.
