My colleague (who is maybe in SC visiting her relatives 'over the pond' from today...) and I have had many discussions abuot that as we run a pregnancy crisis charity.<br /><br />Saying we're Christian has so many connotations to people in the UK when you're talking about pregnancy crisis. We're wanting to meet people, show compassion and give them time to be listened to and think through their options.<br /><br />But you say Christian, and most people will think 'pro-life' and it's a barrier to them seeking support if they think they're going to be getting a pro-life message slammed down their throats or be judged. <br /><br />And yet we've had people going back to church while on our abortion recovery programme without us saying anything about our faith quite often.<br /><br />I don't who first said 'actions speak louder than words' or 'always preach the gospel, sometimes using words'...but I think they were pretty wise.LAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09320817252612530093noreply@blogger.com
