It's Complicated: Finding a way beyond the binary in conversations about abortion with Angela Weszely, Founder of ProGrace
Conversations about abortion often center on the question: Are you pro-life or pro-choice? What if that's the wrong question? What if conversations about abortion didn’t have to feel so tense, divided, or dehumanizing? What does it mean to affirm the image of God in every person involved? How do we navigate tension we may feel when our deepest Christian values seem to conflict? What would it take for Christian communities to become spaces of empathy, listening, and grace?
ProGrace invites Christians of all denominations and political affiliations to discover a Jesus-centered way to talk about abortion that transcends the pro-life/pro-choice binary. Through a theological framework, transformational learning experiences, and supportive community, ProGrace guides Christians to engage in this complex and divisive conversation in a Christlike way.
