We need a change in theological anthropology. We need to replace the medieval static understanding of "unchanging human nature" with a dynamic understanding of human existence as being in relationship. This will have implications for political and sexual ethics. The doctrine of the Trinity needs to be taken seriously - God is relational and created humans to live in relationships, to undertake the task of maturing and transforming ourselves by living with and for others.
