THE SACRAMENTO BEE
Examines Homosexuality, Faith & Change
March 31, 2009
Alan Chambers, President of Exodus
International, addresses his view of sexuality and transformation in today's
Sacramento Bee article, Church Program Aims to Rid Gay Men of
Same-Sex Attraction.
"'For
me, success is that homosexuality no longer defines me,' he
said.
Chambers said he grew up in
the church, but as an adolescent discovered he was attracted to men. As a young
adult he had relations with men. He said he found a church that would accept him
and led him to the Exodus ministry.
He said for him temptation still exists, but he no
longer wants to act on those feelings, has been happily and faithfully married
for 11 years, and has two children.
'That is success for me. Not heterosexuality, so to
speak,' Chambers said, 'but a life that is congruent with my
faith.'"
