Featured Journey: Peter Ould, Reaching Out to Those in Pain.

"Now, up to this point I was really sexually dead. I really wasn't attracted to girls at all, but I simply hadn't realised that I was attracted to guys. It simply didn't click. However, as my three years at university passed I was slowly becoming aware of what was going on inside me. I think it took about two years to be able to come out to myself. Of course, as a Christian this really wasn't what I wanted at all."

Featured Article: Sonia Balcer on Orientation Change

"Despite a lot of prayer and searching, I am still not off the hook, as my heart and spirit tell me that marriage and/or sexual intimacy with a female would be outside of His creative intent for me, and I relate to Randy's experience of Him, compassionately and with unconditional love for who we are, drawing me away from a kind of sexual expression of which He is not ashamed at us for experiencing but which somehow is not His ultimate desire for us to embrace. "

Featured Book Review: Jeramy Townsley reviews Jones and Yarhouse's Homosexuality: The Use of Scientific Research in the Church's Moral Debate

"In all, this book represents a treatment of the issues surrounding homosexuality in a more fair light that most books of its kind. However, the bias of the authors is clearly visible in the studies they choose to discuss and the sometimes incomplete presentation of data and conclusions from those studies. There are parts of the book, as described above, that deal quite fairly with the data, and parts that reveal false myths that have infiltrated the gay community, the larger secular community and the scientific community."
