Why and how the pro-life issue will always matter, as will the manner of Christian's engagement.
** This version corrects unbalanced audio in the original version. **
Another episode of The Faithful Presence Podcast’s new series, “Thinking Deeply,” is here.
In this episode, Jamie Dangers, Director of Federal Affairs at Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, joins Michael for an illuminating and important conversation on the complex and critical issue of advocacy for the unborn. Jamie shares insights on the evolution of the pro-life initiative and how the Dobbs decision has refocused their efforts. Along the way, they discuss the place of a pro-life view in the history of the Christian church, and share how each of them came to understand the importance of this issue as well as the necessity of a pastoral, rather than militant, approach.
*** This is a discussion about a divisive and deeply personal issue that always involves real people in real situations. It is also one that can expose past and lingering wounds. Please listen with a soft heart and reach out to your local pastor or us at Faithful Presence if you have pastoral questions. ***
