Three ministries aimed at helping the Church effectively address the topic of biblical sexuality announced a groundbreaking merger this week.
One by One, an outreach equipping the Presbyterian and Reformed faith communities to compassionately and effectively address biblical sexuality and Transforming Congregations, a likeminded ministry to The United Methodist Church, announced plans to merge with Exodus International. Exodus is the world's largest Christian outreach to those dealing with same-sex attraction.
Together, the ministries will form a new division under the leadership of Exodus that will equip church leaders worldwide to break the polarizing debate over homosexuality through an approach that is both biblically orthodox and truly compassionate.
"The compassionate truth of the Gospel is still the hope of the world today," said Alan Chambers, president of Exodus. "Together, we hope to advance a new era in the global Christian Church that is defined by God's truth as well as His heart for hurting individuals experiencing confusion and conflict about their sexuality."
