The president of a leading Christian ministry dedicated to helping
gays repress their sexual urges through prayer has apologized to the gay
community and says the group is shutting down.
Alan Chambers said on Exodus International’s website Thursday that
the group wants to apologize “to the gay community for years of undue
suffering and judgment at the hands of the organization and the church
as a whole.”
Chambers also says he is sorry the group promoted sexual orientation
change efforts and apologized for not challenging Christians who called
gays names like “sodomite.”
Phone messages left at the group’s Orlando, Fla., headquarters were not immediately returned Thursday.
Exodus International was founded 37 years ago. It claimed 260 member ministries around the U.S. and internationally.
