The General Assembly in 2001, by an overwhelming vote of 450/33/5 called for the Office of Theology and Worship to prepare resources for our congregations’ ministries to women and men who are suffering the effects of abortion decisions.

The G.A. directed Theology and Worship to work with other groups in the development of these resources. Presbyterians Pro-Life was among the groups specifically mentioned in the G.A. action. The action calls for

The G.A. action included no timeline for the development of the resources and no deadline for reporting back to a subsequent G.A. Since June 2001, there has been one meeting for discussion of the development of resources that included PPL representatives.

PPL is fully committed to the biblical teaching that there is no sin that God cannot forgive and no human being that God cannot restore to fellowship with himself. God implores us in his Word to come to him for the forgiveness he has provided through his Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Pro-life ministry in the Christian church is the ministry of the Gospel of our Lord.

It is out of our confidence in God’s forgiveness that PPL now offers a new resource called "Discovering Grace." It is a packet of materials to aid churches in developing ministries specifically for women and men who suffer from adverse effects of abortion and need the compassionate and restorative ministry of the gospel, just as the G.A. action calls for. The packet includes biblical and theological teaching that undergirds such a ministry along with suggestions for equipping and providing such ministry in our churches.
