“Many of you may know that for 36 years, First Stone Ministries has been affiliated with Exodus International, a network of ministries that all proclaim freedom from homosexuality through relationship with Jesus Christ.

Over the last several months, the leadership of First Stone Ministries has become increasingly aware of some changes in Exodus’s ideology and leadership that have resulted in us feeling we are unable to continue as an Exodus Member ministry while maintaining Biblical integrity and a clear conscience before God.

In April, First Stone officially resigned as an Exodus Member ministry. We remain dedicated to proclaiming Biblical truth in all sexual and relational matters, and to providing a safe place for those struggling with unwanted same-sex attractions to find healing and freedom in Christ and to be empowered to “go and sin no more”.

Pray for us as we seek to remain connected with other Biblically-sound ministries and to maintain and even increase our influence to the Church and culture in Oklahoma and throughout the Midwest.”

“Nowhere does the transforming power of Jesus Christ have more relevance then in our sexuality. Broken sexuality takes life; Jesus through His body restores hope for the integrity of our intimate relationships.

Break ground with us for the first gathering of the Restored Hope Network! The conference will lay a Biblical framework for sexual wholeness through worship, teaching, testimonies and healing opportunities.

Teachers include Dr. Robert Gagnon, Frank Worthen, Andrew Comiskey and others.”

OUTpost and the Worthen ministry (formerly Love In Action) were two of the founding Exodus ministries. So far, Exodus has not made a comment about why these affiliates are no longer listed.

If Alan doesn’t to the hard line he is going to get fired, it is right there at the end, “We trust that those he trusts will help him to stay low and clarify the way forward for his renewed season of service.”

If Alan wants to keep his job he is going to have to tow the party line.

(or is is “toe” the party line?).

I need more information on who Comiskey is. I have heard the name but don’t know anything about him.
