Jeremy Marks - Exchanging the Truth of God for a Lie

5/28/2016

 
One man's spiritual journey to find the truth about homosexuality and same-sex partnerships. Foreword by Roy Clements Afterword by Rev. David Tomlinson

Jeremy Marks relates his own journey through 20 years of ministry with Courage (UK), a group he founded in February 1988 to offer support for people who experience a conflict between their faith and their sexuality. Initially Courage (UK)'s ministry was based on the theory that a change in sexual orientation could be achieved through prayer and fellowship. Alternatively, acceptance of lifelong celibacy might result. However, Jeremy soon became struck by the failure of this ministry (and others like it) to produce any long-term results that really stood up to scrutiny. Worse, psychological harm or other damaging effects could result. To continue with integrity Jeremy decided he had to change the direction of Courage (UK) to become an affirming ministry supporting people as they are rather than trying to change them.
