It ...I am with you about artificial contraception. It was a huge eye opener to me to find that there was not a single church in Christendom which permitted it until Lambeth 1930. It was more horrifying to read Sanger's progress in dividing Protestants from Catholics on this subject and the inroads she made, talking specifically about how it was difficult to convince faithful Protestants to change their minds, since contraception was universally equated with abortion. <BR/><BR/>From the earliest Christian teaching (the Didache, from the 1st century, written in part by the Apostle Barnabus, I may have the wrong apostle), contraception was forbidden. I think many of the problems we are seeing in Christian marriage, in marriage in general, in family life, can be traced to this. <BR/><BR/>The reformers themselves had quite harsh words for those who would contracept, yet this is ignored in much of the modern church.
