Synod calls for government to ban practice aiming to change sexual orientation after hearing experiences of ‘spiritual abuse’ in emotional debate
The Church of England has called on the government to ban conversion therapy and has condemned the practice, which aims to change sexual orientation, as unethical and potentially harmful.
At the end of an emotional debate in which two members of the C of E synod described their experiences as spiritual abuse, the church’s governing body overwhelmingly backed a motion saying the practice had “no place in the modern world”.
Conversion therapy is usually described as an attempt to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. Some churches in the C of E and other denominations have encouraged LGBT members to take part in prayer sessions and other activities to rid them of their “sin”.
Proposing the motion, Jayne Ozanne – who underwent conversion therapy resulting in two breakdowns and two spells in hospital – said conversion therapy was “abuse from which vulnerable adults need protecting”.
It was “discredited by the government, the NHS, the Royal College of Psychiatrists, the Royal College of General Practitioners and many other senior health care bodies,” she said.
Quoting from a statement issued earlier this year by the UK Council for Psychotherapy and other bodies, she said: “Exclusion, stigma and prejudice may precipitate mental health issues for any person subjected to these abuses.”
Ozanne quoted an online survey she recently conducted in the LGBTI community, in which just under 40% of her 553 respondents said they had undergone some form of conversion therapy.

Looks like most British are against attending the Church of England.
Of course, the homosexuals that have been recruited into the buckle of the homo camp, have no escape mechanism. It is an entrapment of the most sinister kind.
I didn’t click on the link, but I’m sure the author’s research included an unbiased and LARGE sampling group, from numerous conversion centers and methods, from multiple countries, religions and age groups.
Right?

Apologies if I sarc’d too soon.
I "get" why people might want to ban forced conversion therapy. But when you want to ban the practice for adults wanting to pay their own money--while putting taxpayers on the hook for sex reassignment surgery--you are an asshole.
This is clearly an area, if the Church of England exercises any discretion, they would be better off not making a statement.
In my opinion, the problem with “conversion therapy” is the concept that lust for the opposite sex is a virtue. It is not. It is an appetite, just as lust for the same sex is.
“Conversion” should be to virtue, specifically, the virtue of chastity, the right use of our sexual faculties according to our station in life.
As impossible as it sounds, the sodomites are more in control in the Church of England than in most Catholic dioceses. But the Vatican, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, San Jose, Boston, Washington? It’s a toss-up.
Well said.
Because it works, and that is a threat to their Marxist values.
Thank you. I try to get to the root of things.
Yeah, like those “discredited” photos proving that the “birth certificate” was a crude forgery.
I am sure indoctrinating them into fisting and trans mutilation is so
much nicer
Yes, Tropic Thunder going full retard makes sense now
I guess “Born this way,” also means “Kept this way.”
Pretty much a heretical church now, eh? Do they even preach John 14:6 now or have they figured a way to mangle that scripture too?

Democrat Gender Identity is like Islam,
you can check in but you cannot check out.
And the Church of England are sick enablers.
Enabling is well understood in psychology.
1/3 REMAIN
Only 1/3 of homosexuals do NOT convert with therapy.
That was from an expert who performed it for decades.
Research him on your own.
