| | Supremes Face Bombshell: Law Censoring Christian Counselors
The U.S. Supreme Court has been handed a
bombshell: An appeal of a lower-court ruling that banned Christian
counselors from talking with teens about the biblical standard for
sexuality. The case challenges laws that force licensed counselors to affirm
homosexuality, prohibiting them from helping clients overcome same-sex
attractions. Such laws have been adopted in New Jersey, where a biased judge used
it to shut down a Christian ministry, and in California and other
states.
The case already was presented to the Supreme Court several years ago, but it did not get a ruling...at the time, licensed professional
counselor Christopher Doyle told the Anglican Mainstream website that
the decision “is the consequence of liberal judicial bias.” Click here to read more. |
| | American Family Association October Journal's "I Want Out" explores therapy bans, culture wars, and loving solutions for families struggling with same-sex attraction, with commentary from IHF Executive Director, Christopher Doyle
Christopher Doyle is cofounder of VOTV
and a licensed professional counselor. His training and past personal
experience with same sex attraction (SSA) has uniquely equipped him to
help heterosexuals who struggle with unwanted SSA. “Those who have gone through therapy on this issue tend to be in counseling for quite a long time,” Doyle explained to AFA Journal. “They typically have a lot of issues to work through.” After
his own 11-year journey, Doyle has become determined to fight for
others who choose the road of healing. He works to block legislative
efforts to ban “talk therapy,” the term used to identify ethically sound
methods employed by counselors and psychologists for helping inherent
heterosexuals identify the causes and resolve the underlying factors
that lead to SSA. Click here to read more. |
