Kim Zember found ‘great freedom’ after renouncing homosexuality and embracing Jesus Christ. But the Archdiocese of Indianapolis postponed her event amid attacks from woke LGBT activists.
(LifeSiteNews) – The Archdiocese of Indianapolis bowed to LGBT activists and postponed an event with a speaker who renounced her homosexuality and returned to the Church.
St. Luke Catholic Church in Indianapolis initially scheduled an event with Kim Zember on October 13. A former lesbian turned Catholic speaker and author, Zember left the homosexual lifestyle and founded an apostolate, Overcome Ministries, for same-sex attracted individuals that upholds Church teaching and seeks to “point people to Jesus.”
A since-deleted post about the event on St. Luke’s website read, “Kim began experiencing same-sex attraction as a teenager. She shares her experience of finding true joy in sharing the love, freedom and restoration found through her personal relationship with Jesus Christ.”
In a biography on the Overcome Ministries site, Zember notes that she “found great freedom” in rejecting same-sex relations and that doing so also freed her from “anxiety, depression, and duplicity that were continually present in my past lifestyle.”
Zember additionally operates a charitable ministry in Ethiopia that provides food and education to children who have lost one of both of their parents. Proceeds from the event at St. Luke Catholic Church would have benefited that ministry, according to the church’s post.
But after blistering attacks from LGBT pressure groups, St. Luke and the Archdiocese of Indianapolis announced earlier this month that Zember’s talk would be postponed to allow for “discernment” about whether to proceed with it.
