SPUC Evangelicals

Latest newsletter: summer 2012

SPUC Evangelicals (a division of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children) was formed in 1991. It is a member organisation of the Evangelical Alliance.

Aims

  1. To promote the biblical understanding of the sanctity of human life, as it is set out in the Basis of Action (below).
  2. To work with churches, societies and other bodies having an Evangelical presence so that they may fulfil their task of defending unborn children.
  3. To assist individual Christians in taking a pro-life stand.

Basis of Action

In accordance with the witness of Scripture, we believe:

  1. That God made man in his own image.
  2. That the Son of God became flesh in the womb of his mother, so sharing our humanity from the time of conception.
  3. That every human life from conception to death, without exception, therefore has an intrinsic dignity and is to be respected.
  4. That the widespread abuse and destruction of unborn children therefore constitute a flagrant offence against almighty God.
  5. That obedience to God's Word and compassion for the victims of this offence require Christians to speak out against the abuse and destruction of unborn children and to seek their protection.

Membership is open to members of SPUC who are in agreement with the Basis of Action and wish to pursue the Aims.
