Kairos Journal has a helpful article on Christians and in vitro fertilization. The science and procedure are front-page news these days, which means they are front-pew issues. Like many technological advances Christians are often swept up in the current before realizing there was one.

Lis and I received alot of very wise counsel from Unity during our contemplations. Right, wrong, or indifferent, we are estatic baby Oliver is anticipated early May.
Hey Roger,
Oliver will be ecstatic as well! The article is quite fair, encouraging biblically-principled decisions without dogmatic assertions. Looking forward to seeing you all this weekend, Lord willing.
