Evening Session: Seeking Social Justice

Bryan and Jill presented an evening session with a focus on social justice.

We heard all we should know about abortion – about how we can bring about true social justice, prolife apologetics, how Jill helped with the partial-birth abortion law change, and how to reach the next generation of prolifers.

Dr. Matthew Flannagan is one of New Zealand’s leading analytic theologians. He holds a PhD in Theology, a Masters with First Class Honours and Bachelors degree in Philosophy.

His PhD thesis was on the Ethics of Feticide (the killing of fetuses). In it, he surveyed the history of Christian moral opposition to feticide and defended this tradition against contemporary secular critiques and arguments for abortion. This work is currently under consideration for publication as a monograph by a US publishing house.
