The Other End of the Spectrum – From Uganda to Kevin Jennings

Kevin Jennings is a militant gay activist who says that there is no more debate when it comes to the school system.  You either accept liberal pro-gay ideology or shut up and move out of the way. “Ex-gay messages have no place in our nation’s public schools.

There is no ‘other side’ when you’re talking about lesbian, gay and bisexual students.” Jennings is being raked over the coals for the second time this year as conservative bloggers are picking up his "reading list" suggestions for schools.  Their posts are disturbing (seriously ... you have been … [Read more...]

Greenbelt Organizers Give Gene Robinson Podium and Reject Post-gay Testimony

Greenbelt

From Anglican Mainstream: Phelim McIntyre responds to BBC News item ‘Traditional Anglicans have criticised the UK’s major Christian arts festival for inviting a gay American Bishop to speak.’ The Revd Colin Coward is being economical with the truth. He states that ‘there’s a lot of evidence that trying to make somebody ex-gay doesn’t work’. I speak as an ex-gay who has counselled others who have left the homosexual lifestyle. There are over 40 studies which show that therapy can help people, and the only evidence for harm caused by such therapy are testimonies which have … [Read more...]
