Contraception: a guide to ethical use

by Rick Thomas

Contraception is a complex and controversial issue. One of the reasons for this is that the mechanisms by which certain contraceptives may act on any particular occasion cannot be known for certain. How Shall we navigate a confusing array of options whilst remaining faithful to God? Where clear and convincing evidence is lacking, humility, openness and a refusal to spring to judgement are fitting approaches. This booklet seeks not to instruct but to inform, outlining the known mechanisms and effectiveness of contraceptives in current use. Our hope is that it will aid both Christian couples and health professionals in their decision-making.
