Tasmania’s new Catholic archbishop Julian Porteous, who began his role September, has in a recent blog sent a strong message about the need for Christian engagement in the public square. He points out three foundations of society currently under great threat – the sacredness of life, the true nature of marriage and family, and religious freedom.



Archbishop Porteous strongly endorses the need for Christians to be active in ensuring orchestrated campaigns by a small motivated minority groups do not reshape society for the worse, pointing to the Jesus’ admonition for his followers to be salt and light in the world. This article is well worth sharing around.

Crossroads' second annual pro-life walk in Australia will begin in Brisbane on 11th January 2014 and will finish in Melbourne on 9th February.



Crossroads is an international pro-life organisation that sponsors pro-life walks every summer in several countries in order to help bring about a "culture of life" and a renewed respect for the dignity and sanctity of human life, from the very beginning in the womb until natural death.



The walk is made up of Australian young people and will pass through most of the biggest cities in the country, covering over 1,600km.

This year's March for the Babies will be held on Saturday 12th October.



The March has been held each year in Victoria since 2009, and is in response to the Abortion Law Reform Act passed in 2008 in Victoria, which makes abortion available for any reason up to 24 weeks. After that time a woman can obtain an abortion if two doctors agree – the reasons that can be used not only cover life and health issues – they include “social circumstances” as well.



Last year, over 3,500 people marched through the Melbourne CBD calling for a change of culture for the unborn and a repeal of the Victorian legislation, considered to be one of the most extreme abortion laws in the Western world.



If you are in Victoria, we encourage you to join in the March for the Babies this October.



Details:



When: Saturday 12th October 2013



Time: 1pm



Where: meet at Treasury Gardens, corner of Spring Street and Wellington Parade, Melbourne



Wear: pink and blue
