Dr.
Jallen Rix to Speak at St. Aidan's, S.F. on Gay Pride
Sunday, June 27
Speaker, author, singer and educator, Jallen
Rix, as a young Southern Baptist, joined an ex-gay ministry
when he discovered his same-sex attractions. Although the
ministry did not make him heterosexual, it did manage to
destroy any sense of stability and self-esteem.
His new book, Ex-Gay
No Way, is
Dr. Rix’s journey through the ex-gay world and what he did
in the aftermath to reintegrate positive sexuality with
healthy spirituality. Further, he demonstrates that the
tactics used in these oppressive environments are many of
the same damaging schemes used everywhere in power-abusive
religious organizations today.
Jallen will preach at both the 8 and 10 am services on June
27. St. Aidan's is located at 101 Gold Mine Drive in the
Diamond Heights Neighborhood.
