If you are a member of one of these "churches" or organizations, I would urge you to leave them immediately and let them know exactly why you are leaving.
Thanks for posting - useful information.
"not recognized by the Catholic Church" is an understatement! "Catholics for Free Choice" is one non-practicing, excommunicated woman and her fax machine, funded by several anti-Catholic organizations.
You're welcome. Although not an article per se, I hope that many posters will find this to be valuable information.
Was this organization formerly known as "Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights" (RCAR)? If so, they probably changed the name to make it more "appealing."
Happily, not one Baptist organization to be found!
24 out of the 38 aren't even nominally Christian.
Yep. On the one hand, I want to see Frances Kissling excommunicated (there is no question whatsoever that she has earned it), but on the other hand I don’t want to see her get the free publicity and the appearances that would surely come on every “news” outline in the country.
Sorta interesting ECLA isn't on the list... yet.
That leaves the "Pro-Choice" "churches" as being ECUSA, United Church of Christ, United Methodists and the PCUSA. Listing the Ethical Culture movement as a religion is, of course, a brilliant slap on the face, since they are atheists, are they not?
There is no need to formally excommunicate Kissling. If she has not had an abortion herself, she definitely has paid for them and "escorted" children to their deaths, so she falls under the definition of a procurer of abortion and is therefore excommunicate.
Yes, they were previously known as "Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights." And, like you, I have long suspected that they changed their name for that very reason.
American Baptists and National Baptists sure are pro-choice, though! The issue is that such organizational statements of politics are deemed by American Baptists and National Baptists to be contrary to the Baptist view of the structure of churches. They'll even bitch that the Southern Baptists have become Papist because the SBC is so powerful.
...not that I would consider that offensive :^).
Kudos to Southern Baptists for being so strongly anti-abortion nowadays!
You're welcome. ;-)

I believe I saw an article stating that Frances gets a significant amount of money from the Ford Foundation.
Wonder when we stop calling the sell-out churches "Mainline?" I bet a lot of us wonder why they should be the official face of Christianity.
Don't mean to be snooty, but I think once you compromise the teachings as far as some of these churches have, I don't know what else to call them but sell-out.
Better not let that get out or we will end up with a handful of unbelieving misfits calling themselves Baptists for Reproductive Rights.
And guess who the MSM will then turn to for the "Baptist" perspective.
I agree 110% !!! I think the problem is the same with the so-called "MSM" and the MSM leads the way with the "churches" as well. The MSM calls these pro-abort "churches" "mainline" in order to give them a legitimacy that they do not deserve. A "church" that is pro-abort is not in anyway "mainline" in the Christian world. Another assault on us by the "MSM."
