Focus on the Family Holds Conference
November 2nd in Washington, D.C. Area
Focus on the Family, a ministry headed by
psychologist and author Dr. James Dobson, is
offering a series of high-quality instructional
seminars on homosexuality at locations across the
country. To date, attendance has ranged from
500-1100. The program aims especially at
educators, counselors, pastors and parents. The
next conference will take place on November 2nd in
a suburb of Washington.
Focus on the Family acknowledges that thousands of
parents are facing the pain of learning about a
gay loved one, yet few know where to turn for
answers. The conference addresses questions such
as the following:
- understanding and preventing the condition in today's youth;
- how to help a friend or loved one who is struggling with the problem;
- answering the arguments of pro-gay theology;
- learning strategies to approach one's school board about gay activism in the educational system.
Several of the speakers are noted ex-gay men and
women who, candidly and with conviction, speak out
about their own struggles and successes along the
road out of homosexuality. All of the talks are
supplemented by high-quality video presentations
and video-projected notes. A comprehensive
instructional booklet is also given to all
registrants which includes a detailed outline of
the day's speeches, along with a list of
recommended reading materials.
