Vision and mission

Bringing sexuality into the light

Sexuality is not only a quintessential part of your physical and psychological identity, but also of your spiritual and religious being. You are purposefully created this way. We are, at our core, sexual beings—not just in private, but in every aspect of life, including church and society. There is no need whatsoever to keep it in the dark or as suppressed as possible. Suppressing sexuality only allows it to fester in the shadows, where it may lead to depression or harm. 

Sexuality in its broad variation is good creation. Sexuality does not have to be only sweet with flowers and bumblebees. Just like the Bible is no book with only some sweet fairytales. There are dark and wild sides to both Biblical stories and sexuality that bear a just and promising potential. In ACTS, you learn how to unlock them and work with them in interesting and blissful ways. 

Working with sexuality, rather than against it, allows it to be a blessing rather than a curse. Let’s bestow it with direction, purpose and wisdom. Join our holy quest to explore a new frontier. Whether you are a Christian or not, let’s help society and religious communities to take a new step into a better future.

 
“Let us train our sexuality to flourish in acts of passionate love, integrity, and righteousness.”

 

 

Our Mission To Make Things Better

  • Granting sexuality a fundamental role in moving forward as humanity.
    Sexuality is central to human existence, relationships, and well-being. It’s also an utmost important metaphor in Biblical stories for good reasons. Any community that undervalues, suppresses, or mishandles it, contributes not to proper religion nor morality, but to inhumanity, harm, and disgrace.
     
  • Reconsidering the ethics of sexuality in the public realm.
    With the emergence of contraception and welfare states, we now have unprecedented opportunities to reshape sexual ethics in advanced ways that were not possible in earlier times. That urges us to fundamentally reexplore how sexuality now should be applied to do good. Sexuality is no longer solely tied to the ethics of biological reproduction and societal order. Since Biblical stories are so deeply concerned with the loving potential of human relationships, now is the time to shine their light on advanced ways to practice sexuality.
     
  • Training sexuality is necessary to make it more blissful, shareable, and enjoyable.
    Sexuality benefits from theoretical guidance and practical training. In Biblical terms: it needs to be sanctified. It contains physical, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions that all deserve to be skillfully dealt with and integrated. “Free sex” has proven to not be the way to go, though many people in conventional relationships never trained their sexual practice either. The more people engage in sexual schooling, the more of a personal and social blessing sexuality can become.
 
“By bringing sexual training into the light—both socially and spiritually—we open the door to a new future.”

 

 

Foundational assumptions of our approach

A. Christian religion and ethics apply to the fundamental realm of sexuality

  • Considering that:
  • 1. In Christianity, relationships are the ultimate place to meet God, receive blessings, and to exercise religion
  • 2. Sexuality fundamentally constitutes human beings, for better or for worse
  • 3. Sexuality plays a major role in relationships
  • 4. Many Biblical metaphors use sexual relationship to depict what is going on between God and human beings

B. Skilfully and spiritually practicing sexuality can fit Christian goals  

  • Considering that:
  • 5. Christianity is primarily situated in relationships, and sexuality forms a fundamental part of relationships
  • 6. With properly trained skills, sexuality can significantly open up people and deepen their experiences of self and others
  • 7. Tantric spirituality has developed profound skills to practice sexuality in order to self-realize and self-transcend
  • 8. When applied cautiously and responsibly, these techniques can be made usable for Christian goals

C. Sexual and spiritual practice gain from Christian insights

  • 9. One does not have to be a Christian in order to appreciate and grow from Christian ethics and mystics
  • 10. Sexual and spiritual practice can gain significant meaning and depth when experienced and understood in the light of Christianity
