Ex-gay-turned-Christian says ‘conversion therapy’ ban is an attack on the gospel
from Christian Concern:
Sean Redfearn talks to Jack Sterling, who surrendered his life to Jesus Christ after a previous life of homosexuality, and is also opposed to a ‘conversion therapy’ ban.
Several governments have promised to take action to stop ‘conversion therapy’. They claim that any support given to people to help shape their sexual desires is not just ineffective, but harmful.
Yet a blanket ban on ‘conversion therapy’ cannot be the way forward. While there are examples of distressing attempts to alter peoples’ sexuality, responsible counselling on biblical sexuality can be safe, effective, and appreciated by people who are same-sex attracted. Many people have experienced significant change in their same-sex attraction over time.
Jack Sterling is one such man, and I asked him about it.
