Jeff Gill on the 30-day sex challenge
Posted by Rebecca on February 25, 2008
Some of you may have heard about this, or seen the AP article we posted on our website under “Offbeat News” about a church in Tampa, Florida encouraging married couples to have sex every day for 30 days, as part of Lent. They also challenged singles to do the opposite - abstain for 30 days. There’s much more to the story, and intrepid Ohio columnist, preacher and reporter Jeff Gill set out to investigate.
Jeff writes:
What the pastors are offering in their congregation, and to others who wish to participate over the internet, is a season that is clearly embedded in Lent, while not mentioning those 40 days and Sundays since their target audience is a largely unchurched bunch for whom Lent is something under the bed.
