The churches in my region pretty much stay uninvolved in any pregnancy resource centers because of “neutrality” or they identify themselves as “pro-choice” flat-out. The pro-lifers in the congregations are tepid in interest and voiceless on any pro-life principles.
It isn’t easy to leave but there comes a time when it just becomes so clear that it’s time to go.
Growing up, I wasn’t into church at all and I was interested in astrology and read books like Amityville Horror and The Exorcist. I did attend church after I had kids but it was pretty much social stuff. Even after I had kids, I was searching for answers in books like Deepak Chopra’s or some Oprah-endorsed books. I look back and recognize that God protected me from those books. The books and activities offered through the church were definitely left-leaning and New Age in nature. It did no good to bring up any objections. People would just roll their eyes (yeah, even the so-called conservatives). I wanted my kids to have church friends but I was exposing them to leaders with liberation theology attitudes. The warning blips were there along the way but we finally got the klaxton and we couldn’t ignore that!
The Catholic Church in my area is probably the most involved, women make quilts, baby things, have apts run by nuns where they can live in a safe area right close to the chancery, have extra collections for Birth Right, one-on-one counselling, met many nice people at church who try to help but not pressure the girls one way or another, just are there for emotional support But Protestants do good work, too, not sure what all, but one Lutheran church put up a whole hillside full of crosses representing only a fraction of the total lost.
Surely there are others who put their mouths where their money is, prayer vigils, picketing, life chains, and helping after the baby is born. I've not actually done any picketing where I would meet more, but I have done other things plus charity begins at home in my situation, practically raised my granddaughter and helped the others as best I could, like help keeping rooves over their heads for the childrens' sakes
All but one are grown up now and turned out pretty well under the circumstances. Now we have a bi-racial 4-year-old which I may not live to see grow up. He will be the most challenging of all because he is "slow"; hope I can provide words of wisdom, lots of encouragement and hugs as long as I can, do not babysit any more but that started with my son's second child years back when my health broke.
