Talk: Christians facing the issue of abortion

But it’s a critically important issue and it is vital that Christian people think about the subject in a way that is compassionate, relevant, practical and in tune with the historic Christian faith.

In November 2017 I preached a sermon together with my wife Celia on this topic at All Souls Church, in central London, as part of a series called Christians Facing Issues Today. You can listen to it below:
