About Abortion

Ever seen a cage fighter turn the other cheek?  In this week’s episode the two Daves sit down to analyse some of their own recent encounters with members of the public talking about “abortion”.  

How does Dave Payne respond when a total stranger says he wishes Dave had been killed before birth?  

Watching bodycam video footage of these conversations, the two Daves hold them up against the apologetics training we’ve been working on together, to see what went well and what could have been done better.  How would you have responded in these conversations?  

This is the fourth and, for now, final tutorial in our mini-series: learning to talk about “abortion”. Do go back and watch the first 3 sessions before watching this one to get the most out of it.

Have you ever tried to initiate a conversation about "abortion"?  Would you know where to begin? How to answer tricky questions? How to stay on track?  

This New Year we're learning together how to talk about "abortion".  This week is our third of these real-time tutorials: interactive lessons in which Dave Brennan teaches his interviewee - and at the same time everyone listening in - how to make the case for life in a way that is sound, loving, and persuasive.  Today we look at how to begin and direct a conversation about "abortion"; Dave introduces a powerful tool to keep the main thing the main thing, diffuse high-tension interactions, and help the people we're speaking with to review their own thinking.  Hundreds if not thousands of people in the UK have had their view on "abortion" changed with the help of this tool.

This week's episode is a little different... We speak with the creative mind behind Where's Welby, Lambeth Fudge, and the satirical newspaper The Abortionist.  Is using humour around an issue like this effective?  

Is it even morally ok? 

 Dave questions George Hargreaves for us and together they discuss the pro-lifer's greatest challenge: breaking through the wall.

Only a tiny minority of UK evangelical churches have ever taught on "abortion".  In this episode, Dave introduces us to his new colleague Tim Lewis, who is available to help churches (especially in the North of England) to broach the sensitive yet crucially important subject.  

Why is it imperative that churches teach on this?  What's holding us back?  How do we start moving forward?  

This one is especially for those who are pastors, as well as those who are pastored. 

Tim brings a wealth of pastoral experience as well as being currently waist-deep in studying the Bible's teaching on the unborn child for a PhD.  

To book Dave or Tim or one of the other Brephos speakers, just e.mail [email protected] or [email protected].

"Only he who cries out for the Jews may sing Gregorian chants."  

So said Dietrich Bonhoeffer in the 1930s as the mainline Church in Germany continued to play at religion whilst abandoning the authority of Scripture and forsaking their Jewish brothers and sisters to the lordship of Hitler.  

What about our day?  Does it make sense to "celebrate" the live birth of Jesus whilst facilitating the killing of countless babies in our land and even in our churches before birth?  Do we really love the baby king Jesus when in our actions we are siding more with Herod than with the Magi?  What does God think of our candles and services, our singing and our decorations, when we allow his image-bearers to be desecrated through the calculated violence of "abortion", without so much as a word of protest?  Can a churches knee-deep in child sacrifice, with no signs of turning back, truly have "Merry Christmas" on their lips?   To join the movement to end "abortion", go to cbruk.org/join.

There's an assumption that the "Christmas spirit" is supposed to be jolly and frivolous, and that to bring up something as ugly as "abortion" would be inappropriate and jarring.  And yet the classic biblical texts that depict the nativity of Jesus Christ are laden with references to the wonder of human life in the womb, and the horrors of baby genocide.  After this episode, you'll be asking "How can I NOT talk about 'abortion' this Christmas?"  This episode was produced particularly with preachers in mind as they prepare their Christmas messages.

Over these 3-4 episodes we're hearing from people who are "walking the walk", people who are on the journey from pro-life belief to pro-life action.   

We're going to hear their stories, their convictions, their challenges, their joys, and above all how they as ordinary people are seeking to live out by God's grace his call on their lives in this area. The hope is that this will inspire and encourage us all to get more active on behalf of the unborn and their parents.   

In the New Year we will be segueing from inspiration to equipping, as we embark on a fresh and dynamic approach to learning together effective social reform strategy and pro-life apologetics through a series of teaching and training episodes. Watch this space!  

In today's episode we are joined by Clare Elkins who is part of CBRUK’s Norwich Public Education Team.  Dave, who leads the Norwich team, asks, “Clare, why are you doing this??”   

You, too, can the movement to end “abortion”; you can even get trained up and join a public education team like Clare: Go to cbruk.org/join.
