The report also touches on what the Religion News Service describes as “the negative impacts of conversion therapy, or ‘the devastating effects of reparative therapies aimed at recovering heterosexuality.’”

Keep in mind, “conversion therapy” is not what it sounds like. In the LGBTQ lexicon, which is a study in opposite thinking, “conversion therapy” is when mom and dad tell their son he’s a boy. “Affirmation” is when mom and dad tell their son that if he thinks he’s a girl, then he’s a girl. That’s the context for transgenderism.

If the issue is homosexual attraction, the distinctions are less stark, but conversion therapy is still a way to see if therapy can help in some way.

Of course, the Orwellian language doesn’t stop there. If you want to dilute the church’s mission and values, start a “ministry.” That’s right. Don’t call it a rebellion, a deviation, or a rogue sect within the church. Just classify your efforts to undermine the church’s teaching as a new “ministry.”
