I have had conversations with Alan but I believe he is wrong on this. I believe he has good intentions but I think this is more an expression of weariness.

Sounds like complete surrender to the homosexual agenda...

Good riddance to an apostate “ministry”.

“but a new generation of Christians is looking for change – and they want to be heard”

Hmmmm how about, “...the same yesterday, today and forever”? And isn’t it God’s voice that Christians should be concerned about being heard?

Don’t like the action nor the reasons given. Uphold the Word of God, especially when you have taken a very public position of doing so. This looks and feels like capitulation and retreat.

This sounds like Emergent "Church" cr@p to me.

Exodus started when most churches wouldn't touch homosexual ministry. Now that many will, Exodus has lost it's edge.

This guy didn’t really make much clear. He still believes what the bible says about homosexual sex & marriage.

Science tells us that being a homosexual is a choice, that it’s genetic or “born this way” is a myth.

Unrepentant sinners are going to hell, so why would he stop trying to help them?

Now if his words meant that they weren’t loving the sinners, that they were refusing to let them in their church, that they were calling them names and belittling them, then yes you should end that ministry.

I agree that he should have just shut up and gone away. His silly apology will be misused by the left to smear the church.

“They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.” — 1 John 2:19
