It is an incredibly helpful resource, and, brilliantly for an evangelical\/traditional web presence, is well designed, cleanly laid out, and user-friendly. Sometimes the medium is as important as the message, and I&#8217;m glad to report that Living Out have thought carefully about the presentation and usability of their site.<\/p>\n<p>I was lucky to see a preview of the site, and thought it was very helpful then, and even better now it is live. I also enjoyed some prawns for lunch, something that as a Christian I am free under grace to do. A lot of the time, when discussing the issue of the Bible&#8217;s ethical teaching, this eating of shellfish and homosexuality are linked, and so I&#8217;m grateful that Living Out has a helpful article on this.
