Ignite Student Outreach re-writes the past
by Matt | November 28th, 2006 |MAJOR UPDATE on Ignite Student Outreach (igniteoutreach.org) since the last update.
It seems as though Ignite Student Outreach has caught on to some of the publicity it has gotten for its perceived ex-gay association with Exodus International and Exodus Youth.
Ignite Student Outreach has changed the “Affiliates” section of its website. Previously, Exodus Youth was Ignite’s only affiliate organization.
Take a look at the screen-caps of before their edit and after their edit below (click on the images to enlarge them). Be sure to notice the following:
- “Affiliates” has changed to “ISO Friends”
- The organizations address has changed from a street address in Casselberry, Florida to a Post Office Box
- Two more “friends” have been added above Exodus Youth.
PRE-WEBSITE EDIT
POST-WEBSITE EDIT
UPDATE: Ignite added, later on Tuesday, another “friend.” This time it is North Carolina’s own Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (http://www.sebts.edu/). Southeastern is operated by the North Carolina Baptist State Convention, sits on the property of the old Wake Forest College site in Wake Forest, NC, and maintains an enrollment policy which prohibits open LGBT students.
