For many of us in the church, abortion is an issue that comes to mind every election cycle, a political problem that either daunts or entangles us. What can the Church do in the face of such a tragedy?

Pastor Bryan Chapell has a great idea:

To answer this question I am not going to focus on political strategies or picketing life-chains or the debates of the public square. I do not mean to minimize the importance of such measures or to say that the Church has no role in them. Rather, my intention when answering what the Church should do about abortion is to call the Church to what the Church does best. I want to challenge you to consider the unique contribution that the Church can make, to recognize that some of our tensions and frustrations with each other may result from trying to force the Church into patterns and practices that are outside her divine design.
