Our banquet speaker, Dr. Marc Newman, used portions of C.S. Lewis’ Screwtape Letters to help us understand that knowledge is not enough to overcome the evil of abortion. Having the ability and resources to solve problems won’t do it either. Even a keen awareness of the sinfulness of a culture steeped in an abortion mentality is insufficient. Dr. Newman challenged us to take the step that counts: to engage our wills and act on our knowledge in line with our understanding and resources in order to overcome the evil of abortion.
The banquet response was overwhelming. Some attendees answered the challenge by volunteering to be a client advocate or church liaison. Others offered to pray, and together we raised over $52,000 in cash and pledges that will be collected throughout the year. That will ensure that everyone facing a pregnancy decision in our county will have a safe place to go for accurate information about their options, education, and long-term assistance and support for anyone who desires to have their baby.
