One By One Report on Presbyterian Church U.S.A. General Assembly 2010

October 2, 2009 By
Cross-posted on the Exodus Website *** I had been a Christian since I was five years old, the daughter and granddaughter of Presbyterian ministers, yet I struggled with same sex attraction. I also had engaged in unhealthy relationships with men. Although I dated in high school, I was ambivalent toward the boys I dated.

In college, I had a non-physical, emotionally dependent relationship with my … [Read more...]
