After four years of supporting the Day of Truth event in high schools and one year “spearheading” the event, Exodus International will no longer be involved in the Day of Truth. In a press release Exodus International president Alan Chambers stated, “Even though we have reached a fair number of students, we believe that due to the timing of the event, Day of Truth was always perceived in an adversarial manner, and became more about policy than people. That is in conflict with the mission we have chosen to embrace as an organization. We want to continue to promote dialogue and to equip Christian kids to reach out with compassion, grace and truth. We don’t need to practice this once a year, but rather every day.” The press release was still posted as of July 9, 2012 at http://exodusinternational.org/2010/11/exodus-departs-from-day-of-truth/
