Jason Coppel, QC, wrote in a detailed legal opinion for the faith organization that activists who are proposing new definitions in law to address their fears of “conversion therapy” would criminalize the ordinary work of churches.
Activists claim so-called “conversion therapy” is an orchestrated strategy to persuade homosexual individuals to leave that lifestyle choice and become straight. But often it’s counseling that is in response to an individual’s own desire to rid themselves of unwanted same-sex attractions.
Coppel warned that prayer, evangelism, church membership, baptism and communion could all breach a broad conversion-therapy law like the one recently passed in Victoria, Australia.
