For background information and more detail see below:
We are very worried about the continued progress of the gay — and in fact, the LGBT —
agenda across the board in the UK. Social, cultural, political and religious sectors are all
being targeted and most of them are capitulating. The ramifications for gay living are not
confined to even these realms, however. As various gay commentators observe, gays
have been the pioneers for new models of doing relationships and sex for the rest of us,
especially among the young. Did you know? Though slightly optimistic, Channel 4’s 2007
‘How Gay Sex Changed the World’ is essentially correct. The LGBT contingent is but the
first manifestation of a profound sexual sea change occurring today which will make the
1960s sexual revolution look tame. Given the present cultural endorsement and legal
protection of these ‘orientations’, we will soon be in a situation where there is no turning
back: the damage will be complete.
In many cases, institutions do not want to draw attention to themselves or cause offence
to their supporters by going against the flow. Religious institutions are no exception.
Many do not know about what is really happening because it is not happening in their
immediate vision, and prefer not to know. The result is silence by those who have been
entrusted with God’s wisdom on these matters. This is exactly what the proponents of the
gay revolution want. And we begin to treat the forces that are leading people astray as if
they cannot be challenged.
Many responses can and must be made. These areas are minefields and sincere people of
good faith approach them differently. We believe that information and practical help are
critical. Men and women of all faiths must become informed about these present
developments and be able to offer hope to those who feel trapped by their sexual
‘orientations’. One reason many say nothing is that they do not realise there is a real
possibility of change and a way out. People who feel saddled with Same Sex Attraction
(SSA) do not have to capitulate to these seemingly intractable desires, nor embrace a
gay identity and a lifestyle from which it can be very difficult to escape
In June 2007, together with other groups Anglican Mainstream brought Dr Joseph Nicolosi
to London for a conference entitled ‘Time for Truth: Is Gay Real?’ We had 120 or so folk
(strugglers and their families, therapists, pastors etc.) in attendance and in fact people
who attended are still talking about its benefits. Joe has a proven track record over
almost 30 years in helping people exit the gay world and we believe that his approach,
Affect-Focused Therapy (AFT), needs to become far better known.
Joe honestly addresses both success ‘rates’ and causes of failure. He and his colleagues
have worked with thousands of men and women with SSA over the years. In relation to
the former, his experience indicates that approximately 2/3 of his clients are able to shed
their unwanted SSA entirely or are able to enjoy significant reduction in their struggle and
find that it no longer defines who they are or where they are heading in life. The final 1/3
either dropped out of the therapy programs or maintained significant internal resistance
to the modalities utilized. Given that there is no magic bullet and all forms of therapy
have their ‘failure rates’ (even the church!), we believe Joe’s approach offers real help for
many.
AFT is transferable across the board to all sorts of deeply-ingrained patterns of
dysfunctionality, sin, brokenness and pain. AFT originated independently and has no
organic connection to treatment of SSA. Joe simply found that it worked well in that
domain. Those who struggle against their SSA are prime cases where healing is needed,
but if we are honest, we are all in the same hospital and we all need to be made whole
and holy. This is one medium by which the process of sanctification can occur.
To that end we are bringing Joe back for another conference in April 2009, where he will
be joined by Dr Jeff Satinover, author of Homosexuality and the Politics of Truth (Baker)
and Arthur Goldberg JD, author of the recently-released Light in the Closet: Torah,
Homosexuality, and the Power to Change (Red Heifer), among others. A book launch of
Joe’s latest work, Shame, Homosexuality and the Practical Work of Reparative Therapy
(IVP) may happen then as well.
The cost for the conference is £30/per day, £50* for both days, and includes a drinks
reception and panel discussion Friday evening.
We hope to collaborate with JONAH (Jews Offering New Alternatives to Homosexuality)
and London’s Orthodox Jewish community in holding our conference end-to-end with one
they plan to hold on Sunday, April 26th and Monday, April 27th and sharing resources
and speakers. JONAH’s co-founder and co-director, American Arthur Goldberg, JD, has
specialist expertise in the Hebrew Scriptures and homosexuality, what the psycho-spiritual
journey of change looks like and the process whereby those with unwanted SSA can be
effectively mentored by religious and mental health professionals. Arthur also serves as
President of PATH (Positive Alternatives to Homosexuality), a world-wide coalition of
secular and faith-based ministries devoted to sexual healing and is presently involved in
several therapeutic networks in the UK.
