Upcoming Consistent Life conference will address pro-life and pro-peace issues
On August 4-6, 2017, the pro-life group Consistent Life is holding its 30th Anniversary Conference. Consistent Life is a pro-life, pro-peace group which takes a “consistent life ethic” stance and is part of the “whole life” movement. The group opposes abortion as well as the death penalty and war.
The conference, “Creating a Holistic Culture of Life: Bridging the Life/Peace Divide,” will focus on “whole life issues.” The Whole Life/Consistent Life Ethic brings together all life issues under one umbrella. Whole Life activists oppose all forms of socially-sanctioned killing. This includes abortion, but also the death penalty, war, and euthanasia.
The conference will be held at Eastern University near Philadelphia on August 4-6. The organizers of the conference hope that participants will be able to network with one another and learn new tools and ideas to bring back to their communities.
Speakers and workshop leaders will include Joyce McCauley-Benner of Feminists for Life, who moderates Feminist for Life’s Pregnancy Resource Forum; Kelsey Hazzard, president of Secular Pro-Life;Rachel MacNair, who is the author of “Finding Peace in the Abortion War”; Sarah Terzo, who writes for Live Action News; and Ron Sider, founder and president of Evangelicals for Social Action, who has written over 30 books.
Dear Reader,
Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.
That number should break our hearts and move us to action.
Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.
