Exodus International President Alan Chambers told host Janet Mefferd that gay Christians can manage their same-sex attractions, which for some gay people could mean practicing celibacy. An incredulous Mefferd asked, “How can you simultaneously hold that somebody who is an unrepentant homosexual can go to heaven?”

“There’s no place that says God will change your orientation,” Chambers told her.

Ex-Gay Watch said that on November 16, Exodus held a meeting of the organization’s leadership to keep the organization from falling into social and financial oblivion.

Ex-Gay Watch reported that in the past couple of years, Exodus has cut its staff, lose key alliances and suffers from a general moderation in American views toward homosexuality. These factors have been for Exodus that they have increased efforts abroad where there exists less formal opposition to their message that living a gay-affirming life is sinful, wrong and unhealthy and change is the only way to truly please God.

Exodus’ problems seemed to have begun when they purchased a building for a little over $1.1-million during the height of the real estate bubble and has decreased in value ever since. While they seem to have shed as many of their obligations as possible, debt service for that building might be a great draw on their resources. According to IRS documents, Exodus burned through $200,000 of their savings in 2010 alone.

Exodus leaders plan to re-brand the organization into something more palatable to those with funds to give, and the general public. According to an Exodus source, everything is on the table to save the organization.
