| INTRODUCING
GOSPEL OF LIFE MINISTRIES
It is evident to serious minded Christians of all
denominations that our nation and our society are in the
greatest crisis of modern times. Out of control judges have
begun to use their authority to drastically alter the time
honored institutions of marriage, family and education to
advance an ungodly agenda that threatens the spiritual,
physical, social and psychological well-being of individuals
and families.
Such extreme practices as
partial-birth abortion, unrestricted abortion on demand,
court-ordered starvation and dehydration, homosexual
"marriage" and many more atrocities are signs of an elitist
judiciary bent on foisting an agenda on the nation that is
totally contrary to its sacred moral traditions.
Evangelical and Catholic
Christians (along with traditional Protestants and Eastern
Orthodox) share core religious convictions when it comes to
the sanctity of human life, of the marriage bond and of the
family. According to a recent Gallup Poll, a strong majority
(what in politics would be called a "super-majority") of
Protestant ministers of every denomination support a ban on
all abortions. The Catholic and Orthodox Churches forbid
abortion in all forms and at every stage of the child’s
development. Evangelical Christians largely support a ban on
the taking of all innocent life, from the unborn to the sick
and dying.
Yet, Christians today are
frustrated at the inability of elected and appointed
officials to translate this broad public opposition to
abortion and euthanasia and the support of the sanctity of
life into policies that preserve and protect life.
Gospel of Life Ministries is a
new, joint effort of Faith and Action, the National Clergy
Council and Priests for Life. They have teamed up with Frank Pavone, a nationally known pro-life leader, to form an organization with
concrete strategies to help Evangelical and Catholic
Christians work together to defeat the Culture of Death and
replace it with a new Culture of Life.
The long-term objective is to
build a Culture of Life, which reflects the Biblical morals
that all true Christians hold in common. The short-term
objective is to equip, train and resource Christians of all
denominations to use the stewardship of the vote to assure
that elected and appointed officials support and defend
life.
The Leadership
Frank Pavone – (National
Director) has led the Priests for Life movement throughout
the world since 1993. Millions who watch his program on EWTN
Television and have heard his ubiquitous radio spots
advocating for life know him as an indefatigable defender of
life. He
was ordained by John Cardinal O’Connor and is the
first Moderator General of the Missionaries of the
Gospel of Life. He served Pope John
Paul II in the Vatican as an official of the Pontifical
Council for the Family. He is the author of numerous
booklets, pamphlets and editorial columns. He is widely
regarded as one of the most dynamic preachers in the
Catholic Church.
A joint effort
Gospel of Life Ministries is not
re-inventing the wheel. The organization uses all of the
manifold resources available from some of the most effective
pro-life organizations and movements in the country.
Literature, speakers, audio, video, broadcast TV and Radio
are all available from G.O.L. In addition, a Speakers Bureau
provides challenging, dynamic and experienced pro-life
speakers for churches, conferences, conventions, banquets,
educational and media events.
Gospel of Life is committed to
assisting serious Christians, regardless of denomination,
doctrine or communion, in overcoming the barriers that have
kept the Body of Christ weak and ineffective. Frank
Pavone has been endorsed by leaders
throughout the Christian world including Dr. D. James
Kennedy, Dr. James Dobson, Cardinal John O’Connor, Pat
Robertson, Mother Angelica, Rev. Jerry Falwell, Charles
Colson, Alveda King (Dr. Martin Luther King’s niece), Miss
Norma McCorvey (Jane Roe) and many, many more.

| The Mission of Gospel
of Life Ministries
Gospel of Life Ministries is an
interdenominational effort supported by Faith and
Action, The National Clergy Council, Priests for
Life, and the National Pro-Life Religious Council.
The purpose of Gospel of Life
Ministries is to bring Evangelical and Catholic
Christians together to defend life from abortion and
euthanasia, and to build a Culture of Life in the United
States and worldwide.
The accomplishment of this goal
requires the commitment of the People of God and of
those who nourish them with the preaching of God's word
and various forms of ministry. Gospel of Life Ministries
therefore puts a special emphasis on equipping and
encouraging the churches to engage this effort.
The People of God are also called
to take seriously their responsibilities of
self-governance, participation in the political process,
and prophetic challenge to elected and appointed
officials regarding their obligations to protect life.
Gospel of Life Ministries is therefore committed to
advancing civic responsibility as understood from a
Biblical perspective.
