Recently I asked to meet the Archbishop of Canterbury (ABC), and received a negative response (you can read the full letter at the end of the article).
In particular I wanted to introduce Dr Mike Davidson to the ABC. Mike is ex-gay and his organisation, CORE, helps those wanting to move out of homosexuality pursue their aims through psychological and (sometimes) pastoral support. The ABC has met many interested parties; has he met groups like CORE? He readily refers to the ‘LGBTI’; what about ex-gays? If ‘it is paramount that no voice is unheard’, why the omission?
Ex-gay voices ignored
Indeed, how can claims for full inclusion in the conversation be made with any seriousness? Though the moral high ground is constantly taken (we accept everyone as they choose to identify and on their terms!), the basis upon which it is taken is fraudulent.
