Language of Compassion - Gorham
The “Language of Compassion,” intended to help people provide support to those impacted by abortion, will be offered by the Diocese of Portland’s Project Rachel team in the hall of St. Anne church in Gorham on Saturday, April 12, 10:30 a.m. to noon. The presentation will be led by Judy Shaw, Coordinator of Project Rachel, a diocesan ministry that seeks to provide hope and healing for those suffering from an abortion experience.
When you encounter someone who has experienced or been impacted by an abortion, you may want to help but find yourself struggling to find the right words. The "Language of Compassion" is a presentation that will help you understand the effects of abortion and will share with you messages that can assist you in becoming an effective agent of healing and hope. All are encouraged to attend this free event. No registration is necessary.
Through Project Rachel, the Diocese of Portland seeks to offer hope, understanding, and healing to women and men whose lives have been affected by abortion. The ministry develops tools for parish leaders and hosts Rachel’s Vineyard retreat weekends for those who are suffering in their post-abortive lives.
