Women's Retreat

July 25-26, 2007

The Women's Retreat was an excellent time for Christian women to get together prior to the main conference. During this one-day event, you could seek a time of blessing, renewal, prayer, introspection, encouragement, and bonding with other fellow believers. 

The retreat was held on the campus of Chapman University, Orange, CA.

Ann Phillips, M.Ed., M.Div. , has been facilitating various educational and personal growth group experiences in a wide range of contexts for the past thirteen years.

Upon her graduation from college, she came out as a lesbian to her family and friends. After several years in a long-term relationship, Anne came to know Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. As a conservative evangelical, she felt it was impossible to reconcile her newfound faith and her orientation.

Ann joined a local Exodus International (ex-gay) program. She was later recruited to be the Women's Program Director at Love in Action, International, in Memphis, TN. Within the ex-gay movement, Anne became a speaker and workshop leader confidently explaining the "causes" of homosexuality and how to "change" it.

However, after ten years of having "all the answers," Anne realized that God had not placed a period at the end of her now well-known testimony nor her life. Thus, she began the journey of trying to live the questions.
