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...]

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...]

Media Round-Up from Love Won Out San Diego

March 9, 2010 By Randy Thomas
Terri Brown and Volunteer Staff the Information Booth

Love Won Out, San Diego, California- Exodus International hosted its first Love Won Out conference since assuming leadership of the event from Focus on the Family. Several media outlets covered the conference and while we were protested at this event, consider this story from a young man who protested a Love Won Out conference in San Diego a few years ago: "At a conference in Pasadena, a volunteer approached one of our staff and shared how Love Won Out changed his life. Several years prior, at a LWO conference in San Diego, this young man was participating in the protest outside the … [Read more...]

Advocate Interview Models Day of Truth Vision

March 3, 2010 By Jeff Buchanan

Yesterday I had the opportunity to speak with Andrew Harmon, Sr. Editor of The Advocate about the upcoming Day of Truth scheduled for April 15. I have to say that Mr. Harmon was the most respectful and pleasant interview I have had with a pro-gay journalist and I truly enjoyed my conversation with him. While we definitely disagree on many levels, it was a great example of two people having an honest conversation, while showing mutual respect and tolerance. There is one point that I feel needs to be clarified. I’m sure this is not due to any intentional misleading on behalf of Mr. … [Read more...]

Dispelling the myths about OneByOne and Exodus International

Churchandworld.com

Originally posted on Presbyweb's (also ChurchandWorld.com) Viewpoint on February 17, 2010: Dispelling the myths about OneByOne and Exodus International By Kristin J. Tremba In January of this year, Presbyterian USA pastor, Rev. Ray Bagnuolo, wrote an article called "Ex-Gay. Ex-Loving". In his article, he made some inaccurate statements about the ministry of OneByOne and other "ex-gay" misnitries, which stand to be corrected. First, OneByOne has merged with Exodus International, the nation's largest Christian referral ministry for those who struggle with unwanted same-sex … [Read more...]

The Wounded Unseen – My Response to Gayle Haggard’s New Book (Alan Chambers)

January 26, 2010 By Alan Chambers

Charisma Magazine has published my article The Wounded Unseen.  I conclude the article with: I am convinced that we as a church must do all we can to speak to these issues - to not only reach out to the husband or wife who struggles with their sexuality, but to also put an arm around a heartbroken spouse and walk with a family in need. If we do not, the culture will speak where we are silent.  As Gayle Haggard says, the ultimate question for her became, "Will I be the woman who washes her hands of the situation and walks away from Ted or will I be the woman who loves him and shows … [Read more...]

New York Times Picks Up Uganda Story

January 4, 2010 By Randy Thomas

The New York Times quotes Exodus Board Member Don Schmierer: The three Americans who spoke at the conference — Scott Lively, a missionary who has written several books against homosexuality, including “7 Steps to Recruit-Proof Your Child”; Caleb Lee Brundidge, a self-described former gay man who leads “healing seminars”; and Don Schmierer, a board member of Exodus International, whose mission is “mobilizing the body of Christ to minister grace and truth to a world impacted by homosexuality” — are now trying to distance themselves from the bill. “I feel duped,” Mr. … [Read more...]

In Sexuality Struggles, Hold on to Biblical Truths

November 20, 2009 By Kirk Chambers
Orlando Sentinel

In sexuality struggles, hold on to biblical truths (published in the Orlando Sentinel November 1, 2009) It is troubling to watch more denominations and Christian leaders so easily turn away from biblical truths and principles. In recent months, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America voted to allow congregations to hire clergy involved in same-sex relationships, and now we are seeing the National Episcopal Church heading in that same direction ("SC Episcopal diocese to distance itself from national church over gay unions, other issues," OrlandoSentinel.com, Oct. 24). It is … [Read more...]
