U.’s ‘Sextravaganza’ to explore faith, sex

Sex and religion don’t always go together.

But the two often-divisive topics will be the focus of a forum Sept. 15 called (what else?) "Sextravaganza."

The free event, organized by the University of Utah student group SHIFT (Secular Humanism, Inquiry and Freethought), will feature three speakers who will explore various aspects of sexuality as it intersects with religion, atheism and other beliefs. The Secular Student Alliance and Humanists of Utah are also partly sponsoring the event.

Adam Isom, president of SHIFT, hopes those who attend leave with a better idea of the messages offered by religion when it comes to sexuality and alternatives to those points of view.
