Hi all, this episode is finally on Youtube in 3 parts.

Part 1 of 3

Part 3 of 3

I really enjoyed watching these clips, especially the closing line when Alan Chambers states that he “believes that active gay Christians will join him in Heaven, because God has their hearts” (not sure if that was some or all of us?) Anyway … Wow, Exodus has come a long way. While I don’t believe in their reparative therapy methods (didn’t work for me) I do acknowledge the humility of his comment. When I read online here at f2b about some mainstream charismatic churches becoming less dogmatic in their response to gays in their churches, and as I heard this last comment from Exodus, its as if the ice is beginning to crack. Or am I just naive 🙂

Exceptionally well done documentary, especially Part 3. Every person will have their own faith and sexuality, but never commit a journey that will hurt yourself or others.
