As we’re on our summer hols, this week we’re bringing you a classic MOLAD episode from the archive. In October, the UK marks Baby Loss Awareness Week. There’s been an enormous cultural shift in recent decades around how society talks about miscarriage and stillbirth. Today, the messaging is much more compassionate and empathetic, acknowledging the reality of the baby who has died and the grief their parents will be feeling. In this episode we explore what prompted this sea change in thinking, what we know about how losing a child affects both parents, and how Christians can bring this welcome shift into the church context as well. We go on to think through the cognitive dissonance in how we still talk about abortion, avoiding the deep empathy we’ve learned about unborn children through miscarriage. How have these two mutually contradictory stories about the unborn child developed side by side? And would it be wrong for pro-life Christians to highlight the incoherent narratives around baby loss in advocacy and campaigning? • Subscribe to the Matters of Life and Death podcast: https://pod.link/1509923173 • If you want to go deeper into some of the topics we discuss, visit John's website: http://www.johnwyatt.com • For more resources to help you explore faith and the big questions, visit: http://www.premierunbelievable.com
