A Liverpool church is offering to ‘cure’ homosexuality with an intensive prayer session that requires people to go three days without food or water.

The horrifying practices at The Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry in Anfield were uncovered in an investigation by the Liverpool Echo.

A reporter for the paper uncovered the ‘gay cure’ therapy after he posed as someone who was questioning their sexuality. Upon going to the church, he was taken to see a man who called himself Brother Michael, who told the man that being gay is wrong, arguing that notable people only come out for the fame. “You need to realise this is a deceit of Satan,” Brother Michael said. “How many people are coming out except the singers, the boxers, the sportsmen? The actors that are coming out to say they are feeling this.

The reporter was told to starve himself for 24 hours (without medical supervision) before beginning an intensive prayer session with the church.

He was invited to participate in a three-day residence programme, which included praying sessions that lasted up to three hours, with no eating or drinking permitted until the third day. The reporter was told that the therapy would ‘humble his soul’, and that the practice would ‘allow him to marry and have children.’

interesting. i'd go if i had any suspicion it worked, even out of interest. you don't see many hellfire and brimstone churches around anymore in anglicanism so would be nice to hear a sermon like that instead of the love guff.

which got me thinking anyway would you go if you thought a conversion place actually worked

It's not an illness so it's not something that can be "cured". I don't understand how you can be cured through payer.
