Each year, up until now, my parish has supported the Amnesty International Greetings Card Campaign. Each parishioner is given the name of a "prisoner of conscience" or someone unjustly imprisoned and asked to send a non religious card to that person offering encouragement and hope. The cards are collected at Church and posted. It all seems a very worthy cause, but should it continue given that it offers support to AI? My feeling is that, whilst I appreciate that this is an effective and just campaign, the release of one or more prisoners of conscience will not compensate for the lives of the babies who will die thanks to AI's support for abortion and I no longer wish to support it. Nor do I believe that the parish should. Does anyone know of an organisation which operates a similar scheme? KatyA |
