Your thread is about a church in which a young man with an extreme Christian upbringing underwent prayers or a ritual at a church, against his being gay, which he described both as ‘an intense prayer team meeting’ and then, an exorcism, though the church denied that it was an exorcism.
He was a young adult at the time, a youth leader in the church. He was not forced into this prayer session or exorcism except by his own beliefs that it was wrong to be gay, which he had been brought up in by his own family who were part of an ‘extreme Christian cult’. Mistaken though many people would think those beliefs are some people hold them.
After what he went through, he felt empty at first but then concluded he could be gay and still hold on to his faith, though this church did not want him in his role there because he was in a gay relationship.
There are Christian Churches where the leaders believe it is against the teachings of the Bible to be gay.
This happened two years before Miriam Cates was there so there is no point in suggesting her safeguarding of this man fell short.
As to any implication she believes in converting gay people through prayer, either because she attended this church or was a trustee there two years after what this man described happening to him, there isn’t any evidence one way or another.
There is evidence though that she is against making young gay people believe that being gay means they are really trans and should undergo harmful practices in order to change.
