Christopher Yuan 
Family Testimony & Christian Response to Homosexuality, English with Mandarin Translation 
When: Friday, October 12, 2012 
Time: 7:30 pm 
Location: Taylor Hall

Homosexuality is one of the most relevant issues of our day. How should Christians respond to homosexuality and more importantly those in the LGBT community? Most of us know somebody who is gay. How do we minister to those affected by homosexuality? Without any compromise of truth or grace, Christopher Yuan combines his life experiences with his training in Bible and theology to bring a fresh perspective on this sensitive issue.

Homosexuality: Texts and Hermeneutics with Christopher Yuan 
(English, no translation)
When: Saturday, October 13, 2012 
Time: 1:00 pm 
Location: Morrison Hall

There are six passages in Scripture which touch on the issue of homosexuality. Traditional interpretation of these texts condemns any sex outside of marriage between a husband and wife. And yet some claim that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality. So what does the Bible really say? With a solid background in biblical exegesis—knowing both Hebrew and Greek—Christopher presents and analyzes the gay-affirming interpretations of Old Testament and New Testament passages on homosexuality with clarity and compassion.

Homosexuality: Nature or Nurture? with Christopher Yuan 
(English with no translation)
When: Saturday, October 13, 2012 
Time: 2:00 pm

What are the root causes of homosexuality? Are people born gay? There are two camps, nature (biological) and nurture (environmental), and both claim to be right—with science to back them up. With his background in the medical field, Christopher reviews the scientific studies on the etiology of homosexuality bringing clarity on this controversial and divisive topic.

Time: 9:30 am 
Location: Taylor Hall 

Christopher Yuan, the son of Chinese immigrants, discovered at an early age that he was different. He was attracted to other boys. As he grew into adulthood, his mother, Angela, hoped to control the situation. Instead, she found that her son and her life were spiraling out of control—and her own personal demons were determined to defeat her. Years of heartbreak, confusion, and prayer followed before the Yuans found a place of complete surrender, which is God’s desire for all families. Their amazing story, told from the perspectives of father, mother and son, offers hope for anyone going through the trials of life.
