CBNNews.com - SAN ANTONIO - The Southern Baptist Convention has created a new job of national strategist on gender issues to work with gays and lesbians who want to overcome their homosexuality.
The Reverend Bob Stith started the new job on June first.
At the denomination's annual meeting last week, Stith said he wants to equip churches to bring men and women "to wholeness in Jesus Christ" so that "this temptation doesn't dominate their life."
Several evangelical groups, including Exodus International and Focus on the Family, run programs teaching that homosexuality is a sin that can be overcome.
Gay rights groups and many medical professionals say faith-based programs advocating "reparative therapy" for gays and lesbians are dangerous to patients.
