Rally September 30th - Be There
This is a reminder about the rally to pray and protest the HHS mandate that will be held downtown on Sunday, September 30th. Please click here to see that post and its details.
I'd also ask that you read to the very end of that post. While I fully agree that the HHS mandate must be opposed now lest we be forced to suffer its consequences, I do not believe the strategy of provoking arrest serves any purpose and may be sinful itself. Let us remember that while the Christian martyrs throughout the ages accepted and endured their sufferings rather than compromise with the world, they did not deliberately provoke them. Moreover, one does not protest an unjust law by breaking another, wholly-unrelated law that is at worst morally neutral.
I hope to see many of you down there.

September 30 Rally In DC
From ActsFive29:
Caveat emptor - A few weeks ago I posted a bit on the Principle of Double Effect with specific reference to this upcoming presidential election. During a previous activism campaign I voiced my belief that the strategy of deliberately engineering arrests fails the principle of double effect in several aspects. As I read the ActsFive29 site, I am concerned that this phase of the program veers dangerously close to violation of that moral principle. At this time I cannot lend my endorsement to that particular aspect of the program. I do however encourage support and attendance at the rallies and prayers.
