Restoration Path
Restoration Path, known as Love In Action (LIA) until March 2012, is an ex-gay Christian ministry founded in 1973 by Frank Worthen, John Evans, and Kent Philpott.〔(History ) retrieved April 14, 2007〕 The program was originally founded in Marin County, California, just north of San Francisco.
==History==
After Evans' friend Jack McIntyre committed suicide out of despair about his inability to change, Evans left the project and denounced it as dangerous. He was quoted by the ''Wall Street Journal'' (April 21, 1993) as saying: "They're destroying people's lives. If you don't do their thing, you're not of God, you'll go to hell. They're living in a fantasy world."
John Smid recounts becoming a Christian in 1982. He found that his religious conviction was incompatible with his homosexual lifestyle. He entered into a relationship with a woman and married. In 1986 he joined the leadership of Love In Action, eventually becoming executive director. Smid left LIA in 2008. In 2011, on his website, he stated that homosexuality is an intrinsic part of one's being, and that "change, repentance, reorientation and such" cannot occur, and noted that he had "never met a man who experienced a change from homosexual to heterosexual".
In March 2012, Love In Action changed its name to Restoration Path.〔
