Church is ready to condemn ‘gay cures’

-

The Church of England is expected to criticise controvers­ial “gay cures”, after Theresa May suggested they could be banned.

The issue will be discussed in a debate at next month’s meeting of the Church’s governing body. The General Synod will vote on a motion to endorse a statement by psychology experts that conversion therapy, which uses methods including prayer and aversion therapy in an attempt to stop people being homosexual, is “unethical, harmful and not supported by evidence”.
