This group also explores comparative religious views on sexuality and think about how different religious perspectives can help or hurt a person to cultivate a strong and sure sexual identity. Meetings are confidential. Come join the discussion! Contact: Rich McCarty. Phone: (319) 270-5140. Venue Phone: (814) 864-4429. Email: richmccarty@msn.com.
