Quoted In The Christian Post

I did an interview with The Christian Post the other day. You can read it here. The same article was posted on The Chinese Christian News Service - The Gospel Herald.

… Amid increasing attention on the homosexual debate, Exodus has launched new efforts to expand its professional network of counselors, create an online resource center, streamline operations within the organization’s national network and increase its influence on public policy issues such as the latest Hate Crimes bill which is being reviewed by the Senate.

"But all of that really is encapsulated by our heart for the church," said Thomas.

Last summer, Exodus launched the Exodus Church Network, declaring itself a ministry of the church. Currently with 40 churches aligned to its network, Exodus helps churches to stand boldly on the truth of Scripture with regard to homosexuality, to minister to individuals struggling with unwanted homosexuality, and to create a nationwide referral list of churches for those searching for a church that will walk alongside them in their journey.

"These are churches that agree with Exodus are aligned with what we believe and are willing to help those who come to their church dealing with this issue," Thomas added.

Over the past seven or eight years, Thomas says the church has been very willing to hear what Exodus has to say.

"We find reluctance often, but not quite as often as we used to."

As the Fla.-based organization undergoes a period of expansion and development, Thomas doesn’t see Exodus going away any time soon….

~~There is one misquote. Near the end the article says …~~

~~Thomas believes Exodus is at the "forefront of providing redemptive homosexuality to our culture."~~

~~Ummm… no :). I believe we are at the "forefront of providing a redemptive view of homosexuality to our culture." Just a little bit of difference there~~
