Joyce Meyer Speaks Against Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Bill – Christian Today

April 14, 2010 By Randy Thomas
Uganda

From Christian Today: Charismatic preacher Joyce Meyer has spoken out against Uganda’s highly contentious Anti-Homosexuality Bill. In a statement released Monday, Meyer said it is “increasingly evident” that the Bill introduced in the Ugandan parliament is a “profoundly offensive, dangerous and disturbing attack on the very foundation of individual liberties and human rights afforded not only to the good citizens of Uganda, but on the at-large global community”. “If enacted, this hostile legislation will also further, and adversely, serve as a major setback in the … [Read more...]

Day of Truth Is This Thursday

April 13, 2010 By Randy Thomas
Day of Truth 1

Don't forget that Day of Truth is this Thursday. Focus On The Family did an article on the project yesterday.  In it they quote Jeff Buchanan: Jeff Buchanan, senior director with Exodus, said it's no accident they named it the Day of Truth. "We want to talk and have the conversations and it be laced with love and grace," he said, "but we cannot steer away from the firm foundation of the Truth when we do talk about biblical sexuality." While students should engage in respectful discourse about gay issues, Buchanan cautions that some may encounter resistance at school.  For that, … [Read more...]

Leaving Homosexuality Book Review on Associated Content

April 8, 2010 By Randy Thomas
LeavingHomo_LRG

I got a google alert about this book review.  I had never heard of Associated Content before but I really like their premise: Associated Content is an Open Content Network. AC's platform enables anyone to participate in the new content economy by publishing content on any topic, in any format (text, video, audio and images), and connects that content to consumers, partners and advertisers. Pretty cool.  And Becky Whitmore decided to do a book review of Alan's new book Leaving Homosexuality.  At the end of her review Becky writes: I found Leaving Homosexuality: A Practical Guide for … [Read more...]

Baptist Press Covers Exodus Response to Ugandan NASWU Statement

April 6, 2010 By Randy Thomas
Uganda

From Baptist Press: "NASWU rejects the view that same-sex attraction is an innate 'orientation,' rather it is part of a range of feelings individuals ought to learn to bring under control as they mature," the social workers said. "There is justification for Uganda to put in place appropriate legislation to comprehensively prohibit homosexuality." But the group said the bill contains drafting errors that should be corrected before its passage. Specifically, the clause requiring mandatory reporting of all known homosexual offenses should be amended to exempt disclosure made in counseling … [Read more...]

Perdue

In a recent PBS Religion & Ethics segment on "Churches & Gay Youth," Pastor Bob Perdue of Old Dominion Baptist Church, an Exodus Church Association church in Bristow, VA, was interviewed by PBS correspondent Lucky Severson.  While the segment is generally unbalanced and one-sided in its perspective, Bob responds with a gracious and truthful point of view.  In preparing to post this article, I asked Bob to share a little of his personal story: I grew up in church and I grew up struggling with same sex attraction.  While the problem was not spoken about specifically, the concept of … [Read more...]

Gay Rights and Religious Liberties

March 11, 2010 By Randy Thomas
kaminer

I just got this article via email and I appreciated the unique perspective offered within. The author, Wendy Kaminer, definitely has a bias against the idea that professional counseling is very helpful for those who seek it in overcoming unwanted homosexuality.  That said, I appreciate that her bias is clearly stated and yet she is professional and objective to a large extent.  Here is the first paragraph from Gay Rights and Anti-Gay Liberties: An openly gay student seeking a graduate degree in counseling at a state university is expelled for refusing to agree that homosexuality is … [Read more...]
