The Rev. Dave Nelson just wanted to talk about sex. And porn. And homosexuality.
But he won’t be doing it at Nash Elementary School.
The Great Lakes Church, a new church which has rented space at Nash for four weeks, lost its permit late last week after sending a colorful flier that proclaimed, “Thank God for Sex.â€
The flip side listed Nash as the location for the service, and a series of topics scheduled over the next five weeks, including:
— Great Sex (Bedroom: From Battleground to Playground)
— Sexy and Single (Why God Doesn’t Care About Your Virginity)
— Sex Secrets (Porn, Homosexuality and Stuff Like That)
The Kenosha Unified School District called the flier obscene, disruptive and a violation of Policy 1330, which covers renting Unified space to private organizations.
Nelson said he was stunned at the outcome, and was just trying to attract non-church-going Christians to a new kind of service, while dealing with topical issues. The flier also advertised “loud music, a casual atmosphere, short services, and fun for kids.â€
