Comments on: Is Exodus International set to rebrand? https://wthrockmorton.com/2011/11/30/is-exodus-international-set-to-rebrand/ A [retired] college psychology professor's observations about public policy, mental health, sexual identity, and religious issues Wed, 30 May 2018 21:47:11 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Richard Willmer https://wthrockmorton.com/2011/11/30/is-exodus-international-set-to-rebrand/#comment-94614 Wed, 30 May 2018 21:47:11 +0000 http://wthrockmorton.com/?p=10623#comment-94614 I would add that, when I visit the USA (which I do often, primarily for ‘family reasons’), I often attend a predominantly black Catholic church in Hartford, CT. This church has a very sensitive and thoughtful ‘take’ on the complex matter of human sexuality, The Nigerian priest there always places the most emphasis on the need for respect and sensitivity (obviously, he doesn’t contradict the ‘official line’ of the Church, but I think – from conversations he and I have had – he would regard some of Jeremy’s more extreme comments as ‘anathema’).

I have no room to judge anyone else.

Fine. That being so, it was quite inappropriate for you to write “Homosexuality destroys everything else about a person” as though it were a general statement that could be taken to apply to everyone else – or, indeed, necessarily to anyone else.

I was MUCH MUCH worse when I lived in a gay relationship.

Worse than whom or what? And in what respect(s)? Until you have told us that, the assertion is, as near as makes no difference, quite meaningless to others.

May as well be a press release. Same writer even.

“In short, if they continue on their current trajectory, there seems little doubt that Exodus will fold in the near future…

According to our sources, Chambers said that “everything is on the table.” That everything apparently includes the possibility of his resignation.”

Holding my breath and hoping this is so.
