At its most recent meeting in Des Moines, Iowa, January 12, the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church (USA) “Approved the Episcopal Church's membership in the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.” I’m glad the ECUSA wasn’t around when a young Jewish girl named Mary found herself pregnant in a redneck hayseed village called Nazareth. Things might have turned out a lot different.

For they have committed adultery and blood is on their hands. They committed adultery with their idols; they even sacrificed their children, whom they bore to me, as food for them. (Eze 23:37, NIV)
