Subject: What's a pro-woman approach to the life issue?

Good morning, Rick,   I wanted to share with you a special CareCast episode. Roland Warren, Care Net's President and CEO, was live at Care Net's 2023 National Conference in Mobile, Alabama with one of our keynote speakers, Brandy Meeks. Brandy has served in the pro-life movement for over a decade. Roland sat down with Brandy during the conference to chat about her work and her keynote address to attendees.    You can read and listen more, but one thing that jumped out at me during the interview, Roland asks Brandy about ways to talk with those facing pregnancy decisions. Brandy says:   We have what we call a pro-woman approach. That doesn't mean we're leaving men out of it, but it does mean when a woman comes to us we need to talk with her about her situation and not look past her and just talk about the baby. We want to save all the babies. We also want to save all the women.   Listen in on Roland and Brandy's conversation on the newest CareCast: Interview with Brandy Meeks of Vitae Foundation: https://www.care-net.org/abundant-life-blog/carecast-interview-brandy-meeks-vitae-foundation  Blessings, Vince   Vincent DiCaro Chief Outreach Officer Care Net www.care-net.org  Care Net, 44180 Riverside Parkway, Suite 200, Landsdowne, Virginia 20176, United States, 703-554-8734

One of the toughest questions about abortion

Hi RICHARD,   I want to bring up a challenging question.    That question is this: Is abortion (the intentional killing of a preborn child) justified in cases of rape?   This question demands our attention if we wish to promote and protect the sanctity of every human life, whether inside or outside the womb.    As a woman, the thought of experiencing sexual assault is horrifying. I know women who have experienced assault and the pain is excruciating. Experts agree, the effects of sexual trauma last for decades after the initial assault ends. It is truly one of the most dehumanizing and evil violations a person can experience.    I still believe rape does not justify abortion. Why?   When we think about difficult circumstances such as pregnancy from rape, we often don't have the baby in mind, since that is a human we have not seen or met.    But make no mistake there is a baby with his or her own unique heartbeat living inside that victim. A baby who had nothing to do with the actions of his or her criminal father.    To stop that baby's heart because of the crimes of the father would be to compound one horrific act of violence with another. It doesn't do anything to undo the violence of sexual assault or contribute to the much-needed healing for the mother – it only ensures that there is another innocent victim and creates a new, traumatic obstacle to healing for the victim of assault, the mother.    A preborn child does not deserve the death penalty because of his or her father's crime. The rapist should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and the rape victim should receive protection, help and healing support from her community.    THAT's what a life-affirming and pro-woman culture looks like.    RICHARD, I want you to be able to navigate this charged issue with understanding and compassion, both for expectant moms and their preborn children.    That's why we took incredible stories from women and their doctors and compiled them together into this exclusive eBook, Is Abortion Ever the Right "Choice"?    In this eBook, you will hear directly from those who've not just debated these tough questions, but LIVED them. This eBook will give you a clear-eyed understanding of what abortion means for everyone involved.    Here's your exclusive link to get the eBook now for free: https://www.liveaction.org/is-abortion-ever-the-right-choice/   Thank you for being willing to have the tough conversations,RICHARD.   This is the only way we can make abortion unthinkable.

This is the Definition of the words "Charismatic Renewal" as listed in the Nelson's New Christian Dictionary

Charismatic renewal 

Worldwide renewal and revival movement, also known as neo-Pentecostalism, emphasizing the charismata, or the gifts of the Holy Spirit, demonstrative worship, theological Fundamentalism, and evocative music. Among the Protestants, it has found a natural home among independent churches with Pentecostal antecedents, but the classical Pentecostals have often been cautious. In the Roman Catholic Church, it is a lay movement recognized by the Vatican. The term was coined by H. Bredesen and J. Stone in 1963 to describe a growing trend that later developed in three separate sectors: mainline Protestant churches from 1950, Roman Catholic Church from 1967 and independent churches from the late 1960s.

Key people and institutions in the movement were Nights of Prayer for Worldwide Revival and London Healing Mission in the United Kingdom; The Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International; and the ministries of Dennis Bennett, T. L. Osborn, and Michael Harper. The movement resembled in many respects the earlier Pentecostal movement because both had a strong lay character with an emphasis on every-member ministry. Their assemblies were characterized by vocal praise, long prayers, and personal testimonies.

The Charismatic Roman Catholic movement has given rise to intentional or covenant communities such as the People of Praise, Servants of the Lord and Word of God (now Sword of the Spirit), and centers for ministry and healing. There are Charismatic Catholic television personalities, such as Mother Angelica and John Bertolucci, and specialized ministries, such as FIRE, SHARE, LAMP, Calix, Centurions, and Families in Christ. The Charismatic renewal has had strongest impact among the Mennonites and the Episcopalians but has significantly and widely influenced all major denominations except Orthodoxy. Independent and nondenominational Charismatic groups came into prominence in the early 1970s with the impact of Christian Growth Ministries led by Derek Prince, Bob Mumford, Charles Simpson, Ern Baxter, and Don Basham, who introduced discipleship into Charismatic circles.

Soon there were large networks, including the International Convention of Faith Ministries, Liberty Fellowship, People of Destiny, Vineyard churches, and the Abbot Loop Fellowship in the United States; Pioneer, New Frontiers, Salt and Light, and Ichthus in the United Kingdom; Emmanuel, Chemin Neuf, Lion de Juda (now Beatitudes), and Pain de Vie in France. The movement has produced several megachurches, including Charles Green’s Word of Faith Temple in New Orleans; Lester Sumrall’s Cathedral of Praise in South Bend, Indiana; Wally and Marilyn Hickey’s Happy Church in Denver, Colorado; Billy Joe and Sharon Daugherty’s Victory Christian Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Ron Tucker’s Grace World Outreach Center in Maryland Heights, Missouri; and John and Anne Jimenez’s Rock Church in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Among the more prominent individual ministries are those of Kenneth Hagin in Tulsa and Kenneth Copeland in Fort Worth, Texas. A number of groups have become quasi denominations. These include Chuck Smith’s Calvary Chapels, Bob Weiner’s Maranatha Christian churches, Larry Lea’s Churches on the Rock, and John Wimber’s Vineyard Christian Fellowships. Since 1994 the Charismatic renewal has been boosted by the so-called Toronto Blessing, which has introduced holy laughter into the Christian lexicon. Since the 1990s the movement has had to face some points of tension, particularly over the role of apostles and prophets, signs and wonders, healing and prosperity, the “positive confession” teaching of certain televangelists and the question whether Christians can be troubled or possessed by demons.
