Dear tall73:

You're welcome.

I am a United Methodist. The two links Diane provided are from the United Methodist Church website and are fine for representing the official UMC beliefs and positions. Please note that this may not represent the views of other, non-UMC Methodists.

Any Southern Baptists want to claim Diane's remaining links?

Tall, I think that you are being a little nit-picky about this I was raised as a Southern Baptist, I graduated from Baylor, my grandfather was a Southern Baptist deacon, and others have vouched for the other denominational links that I have provided, which should proove that I can vouch for my SBC links.

Furthermore, despite being a formal member of the UMC I still consider myself a Southern Baptist to a large extent. As the old saying goes you can take the girl out of the SBC, but you can't take the SBC out of the girl

I forgot to note though that there is a controversey surrounding the 2000 version, and the SBC has a side-by-side comparison of the 1925, 1963, and 2000 BF&M: The Baptist Faith & Message. However, I also note that the BF&M is not a binding document.

God Bless,
DIANE

Where Peter is, there is the Church. Where the Church is, there is eternal Life.



"The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father's role in an increasingly fatherless society"- Mother Theresa

"But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child - a direct killing of the innocent child - murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion?

As always, we must persuade her with love, and we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts. Jesus gave even his life to love us. So the mother who is thinking of abortion, should be helped to love - that is, to give until it hurts... her plans, or her free time, to respect the life of her child. The father of that child, whoever he is, must also give until it hurts. By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems.

And by abortion, the father is told that he does not have to take any responsibility at all for the child he has brought into the world. That father is likely to put other women into the same trouble. So abortion just leads to more abortion. Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching the people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. That is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion". - Mother Theresa
