Christian group backs away from ex-gay therapy

From Silicon Valley MercuryNews.com:

The president of the country's best-known Christian ministry dedicated to helping people repress same-sex attraction through prayer is trying to distance the group from the idea that gay people's sexual orientation can be permanently changed or "cured."

The Cure for sin has been available for quite a while now, hasn't it?

But I guess I understand the sense in which "cure" is meant in the article, and maybe it's good to recognize that a dramatic and immediate reversal of one's sinful inclinations - whatever they may be - may not always be the outcome of prayer.

People are still looking for the cure to be "never commits a sinful act" when the real cure is to trust in the only One who can act without sin.
