For all the changing, some things have not changed. This makes the value-based work different for them. In understanding their situation from a ministry point of view, they have changed a lot. From a science point of view, they have perhaps only changes their sexual arousal pattern a little. However, to fracture a phrase, a little can be much when God is in it. It is still a little to the scientist, but it might be just enough to the one seeking a preferred set of valued behaviors.

Warren, thank you so much for saying this. The APA task force may or may not have truly understood what the literature has shown in terms of religiously mediated “change,” but they have rightly observed something they believed worthy of respectfully pointing out. And you are the ideal person to say what you said above. Bless you.
