Information Session: Becoming a Reproductive Freedom Congregation

Join Shan Schaffer of the Texas Freedom Network for a zoom info session on what it means to be a Reproductive Justice Congregation. TFN is an Austin-based grassroots organization of religious and community leaders who support religious freedom, individual liberties and public education. We have been studying (including a Lunch and Learn with Shan) and considering this question for a couple of years now, and the Church Council is looking at bringing the above question to the congregation for a vote on Sunday July 27 following worship.

Church-wide Vote on Reproductive Freedom Congregation

Church-wide Vote on Reproductive Freedom Congregation

On Sunday, July 27 church members will vote on whether to become a Reproductive Freedom Congregation. The vote will take place in the sanctuary following worship and all members will have voice and vote. This vote follows various educational events and conversations among staff members and church leaders.

Participating congregations affirm the following three key principles:
* We trust and respect women and people who can become pregnant.
* We promise that people who attend our congregation will be free from stigma, shame, or judgment for their reproductive decisions, including abortion.
* We believe access to comprehensive and affordable reproductive health services, including abortion, is a moral and social good.

The Reproductive Freedom Congregation program is a part of Texas Freedom Network, an Austin-based grassroots organization of religious and community leaders who support religious freedom, individual liberties and public education. You can read more on our website.
