Dr. Julie Hamilton argues in an article published on the NARTH website that misinformation on homosexuality abounds in the mental health profession. Here is an excerpt from her article: “It is clear that people are not simply born homosexual. It is also important to note that most people do not choose their attractions.

NARTH believes this effort, if successful, would set a dangerous precedence for the mental health professions, unjustly restrict client rights, and almost certainly invite legal action.” Read the rest of this entry →

Here is an excerpt from Alan Chambers’ April newsletter: – “This year we have made an enormous effort to make sure our ministry to married folks and our promotion of married leaders doesn’t overshadow our ministry to those whom God has called to be faithfully celibate, whether for life or a season. Also, we never want to communicate, even indirectly, that the answer for people with SSA is marriage. While these things have often been at work in our hearts and minds, I have never shared this in a newsletter. Read the rest of this entry →
