Members of a church have apologised to a man forced into conversion therapy at their institution after he shared his experience with the ECHO.
Chris Butler endured physical violence, including having his head pushed into the church grounds by three men in a bid to 'release him of demons’ that supposedly caused his homosexuality.
After reading the article, one individual reached out to Chris via social media to apologise. The 54-year-old recalled how him and the individual at the time were personal friends and said he used to look up to them.
