Apparently Chambers Doesn't Trust His 'Converts'

Exodus International president, Alan Chambers calls "covenant relationships" sinful.

"... the truth of the matter is that these unions are less than the Creator's creative intent for His creation."

Apparently, the pray-away-the-gay folks don't want "ex-gays" to be roommates in monogamous relationships. Alan, if they're not having sex, exactly how is it sinful? Could you possibly have a different agenda?

So-called ex-gay ministries are notorious for making it up as they go along. How else could you convince people to enter into a "therapy" that is not only contra-indicated by every responsible medical association but is potentially toxic?

You can read more of this in Charisma Magazine in an article titled "The New Homosexuality." Of course, as Alan is fully aware, there is nothing "new" about sexual orientation.

Just a reminder:

The American Academy of Pediatrics, American Counseling Association, American Association of School Administrators, American Federation of Teachers, American Psychological Association, American School Health Association, Interfaith Alliance Foundation, National Association of School Psychologists, National Association of Social Workers, and National Education Association have formed the "Just the Facts Coalition." In 1999, they developed and endorsed "Just the Facts About Sexual Orientation & Youth: A Primer for Principals, Educators and School Personnel." It includes a number of quotations from major professional organizations expressing concern about reparative therapy and other methods of attempting to change an individual's sexual orientation. One example is the American Academy of Pediatrics, which stated: "Therapy directed specifically at changing sexual orientation is contraindicated, since it can provoke guilt and anxiety while having little or no potential for achieving changes in orientation."
