Disclaimer: Please be aware that some of Professor Branson Parler's teachings may not line up entirely with CLI's or your views. CLI strives to bring you professors who have expertise in a subject, but sometimes there are differences in beliefs/opinions/teachings that CLI and/or some students might not agree with. This is a touchy subject area for many, and can involve great pain and struggle to address. Dr. Branson Parler has much helpful insight to offer in this topic of Sexual Ethics, even though there may be areas that CLI or a student may disagree with his particular position/teaching.
