Our Pastoral Approach

While many Christian denominations and organizations continue to refer their members who experience same-sex attraction and gender dysphoria to ex-gay ministries, as well as intersex people being referred to unwanted surgery procedures, we do not take such positions. But we also do not endorse or promote LGBT+ ideologies. What we promote is an approach to eros in line with the Theology of the Body which we call the Third Way:

Leading others to Christ means teaching them “how to direct eros towards that which truly satisfies: the ‘nuptial union’ of Christ and the Church. In short, these heavenly nuptials are what we long for (desire); they’re what we’re created for (design); and they’re what we’re headed for (destiny). If Christianity is not framed as such – as God’s passionate desire for union with us and our quest for the true satisfaction of eros in union with him – it eventually becomes incomprehensible and even meaningless. More than that, it can even morph into something destructive to our true humanity” (Christopher West, Fill These Hearts, p. 102)
