It was felt that in order for him to be able to be sincere in his personal search it would be better for both parties to have this period of separation, with a request from Jeremy, that we reviewed the situation after two years. We now find ourselves in the middle of a media storm occasioned by the mis-reporting of truth by politically motivated interests, albeit months after the affair had been agreed understood and implemented. During the last six months, Jeremy has decided to run down the ministry of Courage UK, release the staff and for himself to take a minimum six month sabbatical from all ministry to enable himself to work through some personal and ministry related issues. This we respect and deplore those who would attempt to make political issue of a situation, which in no way reflects upon the success or failure of Exodus and its position of offering to be a channel of God's grace in helping those who feel that perhaps there is something better for them than their chosen life style, whether homosexual or heterosexual. Both statements are false.
Any therapy is complex and amongst other things, involves individual choice.
We are called to use the former simply as a catalyst for the latter. We welcome the honesty of Courage UK and Jeremy, as its founder, in taking time to seek further understanding of the complex issues of healing from gender confusion, or to that matter, any form of human brokenness rather than to blindly minister from unhealed pain. We would wish to restate the proven reality of Sexual Redemption in Christ and to continue to offer support and encouragement to those who seek to change. For further comment, you are invited to contact the office of Exodus Europe, Africa and the Middle East at any time. But please, let those who seek rest and personal understanding of their own situations, rest in Peace.
