Tennessee Church Raises Money for University’s Sex Week
College Insurrection ^ | March 25, 2013 | Leslie Eastman

One student recently decried the fact that universities are participating in the degradation of their students with the continued focus on sex.

Now, it being reported that a church in now helping fund the sexual scholarship at one school:

The University of Tennessee’s controversial and explicit sex week plans were in jeopardy after campus leaders recently announced they were pulling about $11,000 in funding for the event, so a church near the campus has decided to raise money for the cause.

WATE reports:

Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church is located just down the street from UT’s campus, and during their services Sunday morning, they’re trying to be the best neighbors they can be.

They’re donating 100 percent of the money collected during the service to help fund Sex Week.

“This is really a faith in action thing for us. The efforts of students at UT to offer that kind of programming is vitally important, and we see it as part of our ministry to support that,” said Youth Religious Education Director Kim Mason, of TVUUC.

By the way, that “vital programming” includes a drag show, campus condom scavenger hunt, sexual poetry tutorial, transgender sexuality lecture, oral sex seminar, sex-themed trivia game, and a lunch hosted by Planned Parenthood called “Sex Ed That Just Can’t Wait.”

A report in wate.com of Knoxville, Tennessee offers the opinions of some of the church’s congregation.

Church goers tell 6 News they are excited to help make Sex Week possible for UT students.

“They can choose not to have access to it. They don’t have to go to any of these events, but if they want this kind of information then it should be provided,” said TVUUC member Lizzie Roper, a former UT student.

Member Jeffrey Kovac, who is also a UT professor and sponsor of Sex Week, says while some of the event’s content may be controversial, he sees it as necessary.

“It’s true that there’s some stuff that’s a bit edgy, but there’s a lot of stuff like talking about your virginity, how to talk to your doctor about sex, and how to talk to your parents about sex,” said Kovac.

The UUs are also in the vanguard of pushing “polyamory” as the next wave of acceptable sexual behavior.

Not a church. A fake church, with a fake congregation. I am so sick of these people masquerading as followers of Christ. YOU’RE NOT! You’re perverts, encouraging perversion, and subsidizing sin. I hope this ‘church’ is hit by an earthquake. Houses pretending to be houses of God should fall, stone by stone.

Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church

It should read: Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Social Club of Non-Believers.

As a side-note, I believe Mr. Obama's grandparents were members of the same club.

I don’t know which sect of Unitarians Obama’s grandparents belonged to, but yes, she had her funeral service at a Unitarian church in Hawaii.

I admit, I lump all Unitarians together. I don't know what is the difference between Unitarian Univeralists, and vanilla Unitarians -- but I suspect not much. They deny the Deity of Christ, the authority of God's Word ... but yet they believe there is some fuzzy, warm spirit out there and so they gather together in a social group.

It’s not a church, it’s a coven.

Sorry, that is not a church. That is an atheist mutual support group masquerading as a church. The word "church" has a meaning that has no connection to atheism and vague spiritualism.

“Unitarian Universalist Church”

Unitarians should rightly be called “Nothingtarians.” The accept everything, meaning they believe nothing.

This explains their stance.

The UU’s aren’t a church. They’re a social club with a churchy vibe.

As soon as I saw the title I thought it's the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church. A lot of professors and faculty live in Sequoya Hills which is the neighbood that church is in. Lot's of Liberal in that area.

This “church” is where several people were shoot a couple of years ago. Some nut didn’t like their position on gays and decided to express himself with a Shotgun.

I know someone who goes to that brand of “church” and he is a PHD and an idiot lefty.

Unitarians are about as Christian as Mooslims.

“I don’t know which sect of Unitarians Obama’s grandparents belonged to, but yes, she had her funeral service at a Unitarian church in Hawaii.”

Yes, and that specific church is one of the churches pushing polyamory. They have their own polyamory “discussion group” that meets there:
