“Our once great western Christian civilization is dying. If this matters to followers of Jesus Christ, then we must set aside our denominational differences and work together to strengthen the things that remain and reclaim what has been lost. Evangelicals and Catholics must stand together to re-establish that former Christian culture and moral consensus. We have the numbers and the organization but the question is this: Do we have the will to win this present spiritual battle for Jesus Christ against secularism? Will we prayerfully and cooperatively work toward a new Christian spiritual revival ― or will we choose to hunker down in our churches and denominationalisms and watch everything sink into the spiritual and moral abyss of a New Dark Age?” - Mark Davis Pickup

A TSUNAMI OF DESPAIR

Judie Brown
Judie Brown is one of America's great defenders of life, and a living saint. She is co-founder and President of the American Life League (ALL) based in Stafford, Virginia; it is America's largest grassroots, Catholic pro-life organization. Judie Brown is also a friend of HumanLifeMatters and personal friend of my wife and me.  

In recent email correspondence, Mrs. Brown and I were discussing a cultural despair that pervades post-Christian North American culture. The results are proving to be calamitous; the weak and most vulnerable are paying dearly. 

We need to be a more inclusive culture that includes people with disabilities, the unborn, the chronically ill and the dying as indispensable members of their communities and society. 

Judie Brown eloquently expanded on the concept of inclusion of society's most vulnerable in a commentary she wrote for the ALL website. See "THE TSUNAMI OF DESPAIR" at the following link.
