Church. Grand Rapids, MI: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1995.
Written from an ecumenical perspective. Looks at the traditional "marks" of the church--the
Word and sacraments--and asks what difference the church, living out its life in the world,
can make in the lives of human beings affected by abortion. The authors argue that the
church will minister most effectively by remembering and preserving its own distinctiveness.
