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
