1 Corinthians 5:9-13
•	Why is there a distinction made between the way we treat fellow members of the church and the way we treat the rest of the world?
•	The case was made in the sermon for “principled pluralism”.  Can you describe this?  How does it differ from other Christian ideas about how to relate to the wider world?
•	What are the dangers of on the one hand treating the world too much like the church and on the other hand not seeking to see Christian principles worked out at all in the wider world?
•	Discuss how New Testament principles of separation of church and state may be worked out practically in one or more of the following cases:
o	Adoption by homosexual couples
o	Abortion
o	Civil partnerships
