There are indeed times when the church must speak out with an impassioned "no," times when it must resist evil, and times when it must argue the case for policies that closely track or clearly oppose its deepest convictions...Pastor Christopher S. Esget:
(from Good and Bad Ways to Think about Religion and Politics, pp 105-106)
On this festival of St Titus, the Lord again says to us, “We must help the weak,” and we weak men say, “This we desire, help us by Your grace.” For God has regarded all life as equal. To Him every life is precious, in Him every life has value—even us weak sinners, and the vulnerable we wish to protect. Listen to the Apostle: “We must help the weak.” Trust God who declares: ‘I will help the weak.’ Confess to the world, “All life is equal, even—no, especially the life of the weak.”January 22nd marked the 40th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade. On January 25th that solemn occasion was commemorated with the MARCH FOR LIFE.
(from Esgetology)
Estimated number of people who attended was 650,000! (1/24/15 Update: The photo below was inserted to replace one that was incorrectly attributed to the 2013 March for Life.)
