Peddling the Religion of Death
Peddling the Religion of Death I decided to write about an incident that happened a couple of weeks ago outside our local abortion facility. This is a story you might like to share with friends or family who think that sidewalk counsellors harass and intimidate people. I know of some (otherwise) very good priests who believe that falsehood. Perhaps they would also benefit from reading this or other stories like it. It was my...
Misplaced Compassion
Misplaced Compassion And how it makes abortion a solution. Every time I pray outside an abortion facility, it seems there is a lesson to be learnt. And today was no exception. Today’s lesson was about misplaced compassion; specifically, three men showed me how misplaced compassion allows abortion to become a solution.

Two were later released, but my friend, Graham was strip-searched and held in custody for four hours! You can read Graham’s report below.

When the fundamental human rights of...

Nowhere is this more evident than in the area of abortion law. In the West, particularly in Australia and the US, there are anti-Christian laws which uphold the rights of abortion providers, but...
Is Praying Outside Abortion Centres Authentically Christian?
Letter From the Zone #3 is my weekly reflection after praying outside Hobart’s abortion centre, within the 150 metre exclusion zone. The focus of this week’s post is on the benefits of praying directly outside an abortion centre. It is inevitable that there will be found Christians who believe it is wrong to pray in public. Matthew 6:5 is often cited: And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites;...
