Thank you for your kind words of endorsement :-)

Just thought it was worth adding a couple of small points:

Firstly, I’m no longer associated Family Life International, I now run my own organisation called LifeNET, which has a special focus on promoting ‘leadership, values and ethical concern’.

Secondly, I am currently doing some contract work with a national organisation made up of awesome young adults who are passionately pro-life, and this passion stems from a strong commitment to social justice and human dignity in all sorts of other areas and social issues as well – i.e. their commitment to the pro-life philosophy stems from a pre-existing commitment to social justice and a truly ethical and just treatment of all human beings, in all spheres of society.

Anyway, I thought you might be encouraged by that!

Peace,
Brendan

With the exception of a few inspiring figures like Brendan Malone of Family Life International, much pro-life leadership and membership is over sixty.

Added to which, it seems to have systematically set out to offend and alienate those of us who oppose the death penalty and corporal punishment of children, support justice for the Third World oppressed, oppose the nuclear and conventional arms race, and deplore the current government’s anti-welfare policies. It’s not the pro-life movement that’s rejuvenating in New Zealand, it’s the *pro-abortionists. *
