​Religion and Repro: The role of modern religious voices play in securing abortion access and defending reproductive freedom

Putting our faith into action. St. Martin’s has expressed support for reproductive freedom and justice. How shall we act on our beliefs? Come to Compline on February 1, at 7:00 pm, followed by a “Religion and Repro” program by Elaina Ramsey, Executive Director of Faith Choice Ohio, where we will learn about the long history and current role of religious pro-choice advocacy – and ways St. Martin’s can help. Please RSVP here

Religion and Repro: The role of modern religious voices play in securing abortion access and defending reproductive freedom

Elaina Ramsey is Executive Director of Faith Choice Ohio, an interfaith organization which for thirty years has been has been working with faith communities to expand abortion access and to advance reproductive health, rights, and justice, through education, advocacy, and counseling. https://www.faithchoiceohio.org/mission-values. Elaina has worked for various nonprofits and campaigns at the intersection of faith and politics. A former fundamentalist evangelical, Elaina practices compassionate care as a pro-faith, pro-family, and pro-choice Christian. She is currently pursuing ordination with the United Church of Christ and writing a book on evangelical/exvangelical support for abortion. See Elaina’s bio.

The program will focus onthe history of religious pro-choice advocacy and the role modern religious voices play in securing abortion access and defending reproductive freedom. The training was developed as introduction for congregations, activists, and faith leaders, to explore basic theological perspectives around reproductive freedom topics, and options for further engagement.

During the program, members of the Under God team will also report on some specific opportunities for ministry that parishioners might undertake.

Elaina will join us via Zoom (she on Zoom, we in person) in the Houston Room after Compline, on Wednesday February 1. The program will be recorded.
