Right to Life - a Hope for Unity

In the very middle of the week for Christian Unity, we in the United States of America, mourn the legalization of abortion in our country. The "abortion issue" has been a seed of division in human hearts, families, and our country as a whole. It was born from division and sows division. It is right then that our prayers for unity include a plea for the end to all crimes against life, beginning with impurity and ending with full blown genocide. At the same time this "issue" has been a huge unifying factor among Christians of all denominations. For together we recognize the dignity of the human person, mourn the loss of the innocent: whether ripped from the womb or blown from their Churches in the Middle East. This dignity that we all share must be the animating force behind our search for unity as we search in our hearts for the courage and conviction to love every human person (no matter how small, or how powerful) with the very love of God.
