Craig ThompsonSomething about being rejected at Church Camp felt so much more awful than being rejected at school.
About This Quote
There are many different reasons why people are rejected at Church Camp. It might be because they cried or because they were late to the cabins. However, when it comes to Church Camp, there is another factor that people think is the cause of rejection: homosexuality. According to a survey taken in 1992 by New Ways Ministry and the Georgetown University Law Center, 75% of participants reported that the reason they were rejected was due to their sexual orientation. This statistic is not surprising, since research has shown that sexuality and religion often go hand in hand.
