Any Baby...

"METRO ATLANTA, Ga. -- Last weekend an Atlanta pastor made a promise that stunned his congregation and most of the people who heard it.
In a speech that discussed abortion, the President, and the sanctity of life, the most provocative statement from Pastor Vic Pentz of Peachtree Presbyterian Church came towards sermon's end:
"I make a promise to you now and I don't want you to keep this a secret," the pastor pronounced, "the Peachtree Presbyterian Church will care for any newborn baby you bring to this church.
"We will be the family to find a home for that child, and there's no limit on this. You can tell your friends, you can tell your family, you can tell the whole world ..."
Reflected Pentz a week later, "I seem to have touched a nerve by saying that to the congregation."
It's a speech he repeated this past Sunday, and it can be found on the church's web site under the sermon title, "Ethics of Life"...." More here.

My question is, shouldn't MORE churches be saying this?? If we, as Christians, are going to stand up and say that abortion is wrong, then we have to be willing to help, in a concrete way, those women who feel that they have no other choice. Then it gets personal. Would I, personally (or I guess Chris and I), be willing to take someone's unplanned or unwanted child if the other option was for the woman to have an abortion? What if the baby had a disability, or had been exposed to drugs or alcohol?
Chris isn't here right now to ask, but my answer would be yes. Unequivocally. With very little hesitation other than what naturally comes from a serious undertaking. As a matter of fact, I currently have a little girl on my caseload whom I would adopt in a heartbeat if the opportunity ever presented itself. I think I'm as well aware of what is involved as anyone could be without actually having been through the experience. Overall, I think this is an area where the church just needs to step up. Its so easy to say "don't", and takes so much more effort to say "let me help".
