Pro-Life Project Idea: Speaker Series
We are happy to bring a speaker to your church or group on pro-life topics. There is no charge for this, but we do gratefully accept any donations to cover mileage and staff time costs. We are also happy to do a collection to split between GCRTL and your group.

Talk Examples:

• Constitutional Amendment Townhall (30-minute, 1 or 2-hour versions): Update on the current status of the extreme proposal to amend abortion into Ohio law.

• Sidewalk Bootcamp (1, 2, or 3-hour versions): covers the basics of sidewalk counseling and prayer, including local resources
• Sidewalk Counseling (3 or 6-hour class): Generally offered at GCRTL once every two months, but additional trainings can be brought to your location with 5 registrants interested. Can be split between two sessions. A mini-session is now available as a 2.5 or 4-hour class (size dependant)
• Changing Hearts, Changing Minds, Changing Laws (1-hour): Provides a general overview of the basic laws in Ohio that regulate abortion. 30-minute add-in available that looks at Constitutional/Judicial decisions.
• Prayer as a Foundation of Pro-Life Activity (45-minute):
• The PRAYERS Method: (45-minute)
• Threats at the End of Life (1-hour): looks at the status of assisted suicide and euthanasia laws, and/or review the pro-life principals that guide advanced medical directives.
• The 4th Wound of Abortion (45-minute – 1.5 hours): explores the traditionally understood wounds of abortion, but also explores the need for pro-life advocates to be strengthened in their faith. Looks at the basic principles of compassion fatigue as they can be experienced
• You are Pro-Life, Are Your Documents? (45-minute): A look at advanced medical directives in the context of pro-life beliefs
• Stewards, Not Owners (1-1.5 hours): (Note: will be presented to anyone, but is based on Catholic Social Teaching and the Theology of the Body). Many of us are able to construct a basic theological and secular basis to defend our pro-life values at its earliest stages, but it can become trickier to do so when it relates to end-of-life and other related issues. Our ED takes a look at what the Catechism means when it says that “we are the stewards, not the owners” of the life God has given us, explores why purely secular approaches to the dignity of human life are incomplete, and explains the ramifications for incomplete apologetics at life’s end.
• Memorial of the Unborn Presentation (1-hour or unmanned): Using the Memorial of the Unborn, GCRTL breaks down abortion at the National, State, and local levels and shares how each of us can work to end abortion.
