A Pastor’s Reflections was created in 2015 by Reverend W. Ross Blackburn, who has been a pastor in the Anglican Church in North America for 20 years, and a longtime contributor to the Human Life Review. It was then expanded to Pastoral Reflections, with contributions from a variety of clerics and religious who write on abortion and other grave moral transgressions that not only hurt individuals but deform the culture and threaten religious liberty. We are expanding again, this time to include the lay faithful, in our new feature Faithful Reflections. We look forward to continued wisdom from our pastors as well as thoughtful reflections from those for whom faith is foundational.
