Religious Abuse and Conversion Therapy

Jim from Northcote Point

I'm presenting a seminar on Tue 16th Feb as part of Auckland Pride Festival.

It's designed for anyone interested in this controversial practice - gay or straight, religious or atheist. All welcome!

This seminar looks at the nature of religious abuse and conversion therapy, especially in the context of Christian based religions.
We’ll be looking at:
• The subtle, and not so subtle, methods of trying to make us “straight”.
• The use and abuse of doctrines and the bible
• The mental health issues faced by victims
• Ways of addressing the issues and finding a way forward
• Untangling our beliefs from reality
Silent Gays provides ways to understand the depth of the issues and resources to build a new life founded on freedom, peace and unconditional love.
