GAY TRUTH

LONDON , May 24, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Lesley Pilkington, the Christian psychotherapist who was  the subject of a “sting” operation  by a homosexualist activist, has lost her appeal to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy . The BACP has informed her that she will lose her senior accredited status, after she was tricked into providing counseling for unwanted homosexuality at the request of a fake client who was secretly an undercover gay activist. Pilkington was told that she should not have assumed that her client, Patrick Strudwick , wanted to proceed under a Christian therapeutic approach, despite the fact they had both agreed to do so. She was also told that she should not have taken his claim that he was depressed because of his homosexuality at face value.

Although the rulings of the tribunal were supposed to remain confidential,...

A Christian psychotherapist who was to appear before a professional conduct panel today has asked that the hearing be postponed while police investigate threats against a primary witness in the case.

Shortly before the hearing, the Christian Legal Centre reports, an expert witness who was to testify on Pilkington’s behalf received several “menacing” phone calls that included threats and intimidation telling him not to attend.

In yet another instance of the growing conflict between believing Christian professionals and the homosexualist movement in Britain, a Christian psychotherapist who helps individuals overcome homosexual inclinations may be “struck off,” or barred from practicing her profession. Lesley Pilkington was the object of a sting operation by undercover journalist Patrick Strudwick , who approached her to ask her for help with his sexuality. He had told Pilkington that he wanted to leave the homosexual lifestyle and she informed him that she only worked within a Christian counseling framework. Strudwick, who went to two counseling sessions with Pilkington and published the transcript of the meetings in The Independent newspaper , was awarded journalist of the year by the homosexualist organization Stonewall for the sting. After the sessions, he lodged a complaint to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy alleging that Pilkington had failed to respect the “fixed nature” ...
