In his book "SEX CAMP," Brian McNaught ventures into places where
most people fear to tread. His searing honesty combines with an
overt ability to pose issues about human sexuality that desperately
need to be faced, lest we continue to violate those who do not fit
our security boxes. I commend his work but only to those among us
who are courageous and radically open." Bishop John Shelby Spong
Author Here I Stand My Struggle for a Christianity of Integrity,
Love and Equality Thirty-two strangers arrive at a Church-owned
retreat facility on Saturday to work with some of the best trainers
in the field of sexuality. They're told that by the end of the
week, they'll know more about sex than ninety percent of the
population. What they go home with on the following Saturday is a
lot more than they anticipated or were promised. Besides laughing,
crying, swearing, and cheering through films and intimate
discussions about sexual values, body image, "self-pleasuring,"
gender identity, sexual orientation, seduction, abuse, theology,
and "turn ons," they faced off with each other around an altar in
the woods, under blankets and star-filled skies, bareassed in the
water, and with hands joined singing in a circle. Most everyone
goes home forever changed. That is, if they make it through the
week. The Annual Workshop on Sexuality at Thornfield was called
"the world's best kept secret." Now you're in on it. "Oh honey, you
should have been there. We had two transsexuals and one cross
dresser, and a nun, and two football coaches, and an 'ex-gay' guy,
and lots of homosexuals, and we watched films of men and women
masturbating and making love, and men and men, and women and women
. and I talked about howyou were non-orgasmic, and it was really
cool "

Roger and Carolyn Perron purchased the home of their dreams and
eventual nightmares in December of 1970. The Arnold Estate, located
just beyond the village of Harrisville, Rhode Island seemed the
idyllic setting in which to raise a family. The couple unwittingly
moved their five young daughters into the ancient and mysterious
farmhouse. Secrets were kept and then revealed within a space
shared by mortal and immortal alike. Time suddenly became
irrelevant; fractured by spirits making their presence known then
dispersing into the ether. The house is a portal to the past and a
passage to the future. This is a sacred story of spiritual
enlightenment, told some thirty years hence. The family is now
somewhat less reticent to divulge a closely-guarded experience.
Their odyssey is chronicled by the eldest sibling and is an
unabridged account of a supernatural excursion. Ed and Lorraine
Warren investigated this haunting in a futile attempt to intervene
on their behalf. They consider the Perron family saga to be one of
the most compelling and significant of a famously ghost-storied
career as paranormal researchers. During a seance gone horribly
wrong, they unleashed an unholy hostess; the spirit called
Bathsheba...a God-forsaken soul. Perceiving herself to be mistress
of the house, she did not appreciate the competition. Carolyn had
long been under siege; overt threats issued in the form of fire...a
mother's greatest fear. It transformed the woman in unimaginable
ways. After nearly a decade the family left a once beloved home
behind though it will never leave them, as each remains haunted by
a memory. This tale is an inspiring testament to the resilience of
the human spirit on a pathway of discovery: an eternal journey for
the living and the dead.
