Ex-Gay Web Site Offers Resources to Minor-Attracted Adults

Exodus International North America, an umbrella group of Christian sexual recovery ministries, posted a Web site in January that allows visitors to locate local organizations that minister to adults who are attracted to minors.

Founded in 1976, Exodus International North America is composed of over one hundred ex-gay ministries in the United States and Canada. The organization focusses on same-gender attraction, but other sexual attractions are also addressed.

Although many Exodus ministries have provided services to minor-attracted adults, until now no easy way existed to locate these ministries. The new site allows visitors to search on the keywords "pedophile" and "pedophilia" to find ministries that offer outreach to minor-attracted adults. Ministries can also be located by state and province.

Exodus's July conference in San Diego, California, will include a workshop by Quest Ministries leader Bruce A. McCutcheon entitled "Understanding and Counseling the Pedophile."
