The Rev. R. Albert Mohler Jr. said Monday that conversion or reparative therapy can't bring about redemptive change.
Mohler is president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville. He spoke to reporters at the start of a conference entitled
"Homosexuality: Compassion, Care and Counsel for Struggling People.''
Mohler is unwavering in the belief that marriage is only between a man and a woman. He believes homosexuals can change by accepting biblical teachings. But Mohler said Christians have sinned against gays by "reducing a massive human struggle to simplistic explanations.''
Gay rights advocates denounced the conference. Their protest included a prayer for love, inclusion and respect.
