On the one hand, I can see that ministers should understand sex issues. They may be ministering to people with sexual problems.
On the other hand, why does the “education” of clergy have to come from the liberal point of view? The ministers can be fully educated in all manner of sex behavior, desires, etc. and still hold to conservative positions, such as sex belonging within marriage. It’s ok, in my opinion, that a minister understand that men are driven towards adultery, but he should still counsel them against adultery.
Any such sex education for ministers should be within the context of traditional morality, in my opinion.
“Any such sex education for ministers should be within the context of traditional morality...”
This entire idea that ministers must receive “sex education” in the first place is absurd. “Sex education”, as we have been taught after the Sexual Revolution, in founded in a perverted understanding of intimacy in the first place. After all, Dr. Kinsey, the father of modern sex education, was a pervert himself, and by no means a conservative on moral issues.
An orthodox theologian will have a thorough understanding of procreation and the function of sexual intimacy in society. The Bible contains teaching and examples of Godly sexual relationships as well as unhealthy relations.
