On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court historically decided to overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. A decision that many pastors, ministry leaders, churches and Christ followers have been praying for and advocating toward for decades. It’s a decision that Christians can rejoice in and praise God for, while it is also a decision that requires further prayer and preparation.
The Baptist Resource Network (BRN) hopes that the following resources and articles will assist pastors and ministry leaders in speaking to their congregations about the Supreme Court’s decision as well as equip Pennsylvania and South Jersey churches to engage in healthy, informed conversations with their communities.
