TWO’s Wayne Besen in Morgantown to Counter Exodus Conference

Wayne Besen May 10, 2011

Exodus International will be in Morgantown, West Virginia today to preach and teach pastors how to “pray away the gay” at Christian and Missionary Alliance Church.

I will be in Morgantown, joining Fairness West Virginia for “Fairness in Faith: Fighting the Ex-Gay Myth and Propaganda Machine,” from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on West Virginia University’s campus in the Mountainlair Greenbrier Room. The event is being held in conjunction with First Presbyterian Church of Morgantown’s companion event, “Let My People Go: A Liberating Faith for People of All Sexual Orientations,” will be held at the church at 456 Spruce Street in Morgantown. A light supper will be served at 5:30. The prizewinning film “For the Bible Tells Me So,” which explores issues of sexuality and faith, will be screened at 6:30 with a discussion to follow. For more information, please call (304) 712-9805 or send an email to Bradley@fairnesswv.org
