Comments on: A Look Inside the Restored Hope Network https://wthrockmorton.com/2012/08/03/a-look-inside-the-restored-hope-network/ A [retired] college psychology professor's observations about public policy, mental health, sexual identity, and religious issues Wed, 30 May 2018 17:28:53 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Teresa https://wthrockmorton.com/2012/08/03/a-look-inside-the-restored-hope-network/#comment-73516 Wed, 30 May 2018 17:28:53 +0000 https://www.wthrockmorton.com/?p=11906#comment-73516 Warren, thank you for posting the following:

Restored Hope is a membership governed network dedicated to restoring hope to those broken by sexual and relational sin especially those impacted by homosexuality.

I’ve asked a number of questions on RHN (FB), and specifically asked the question will homosexuality be their main focus for ‘sexual brokenness’. They never answered with the passage you’ve posted; but, simply pointed me to their Doctrinal Position, which never clearly stated that homosexuality was their main focus.

Thanks for clearing this up for me.

Perhaps he is hoping that that both groups will send him clients and sell his books.

Now, in reference to his comment in the above article that Exodus is utilizing the “Congruence Paradigm”: Maybe an Exodus leader can weigh in on this. But my understanding is that an Exodus ministry would not be assisting a person who deals with SSA to align their faith beliefs to their sexuality. The “Congruence Paradigm” that would be promoted would be to align behavior (in regards to sexualtiy) to traditional Christian values and beliefes AS OPPOSED TO now promoting the “change mentaility”. Using ambigious terminology (terminolgy that doesn’t mean the same to all) causes confusion and rumors to proliferate.

Does this shuffling of the deck represent a meaningful change, or is this like the chairs on the Titanic being rearranged?
