EXODUS INTERNATIONAL TO SHUT DOWN

From the Huffington post:
Exodus International, a large Christian ministry that claimed to offer a "cure" for homosexuality, plans to shut down.

In a press release posted on the ministry's website Wednesday night, the board of directors announced the decision to close after nearly four decades.

“We’re not negating the ways God used Exodus to positively affect thousands of people, but a new generation of Christians is looking for change -- and they want to be heard,” Exodus board member Tony Moore said.
And not a minute too soon.  Good riddance.  The harm caused by organizations of this sort is incalculable.  Guilt, self-hatred, suicide...I could go on.  Saying you're sorry is not enough.

I wonder how much the decision had to do with lack of  funding.
