An Open Letter to Church and Ministry Leaders
For people in the ministry in all Christian denominations who are a member of the clergy, a church leader, pastor, deacon, ministry leader, assistant, or a spouse thereof, and are sincerely interested in learning more about how to better attend to the spiritual needs of CF Christians and their own desires for the church.

If you are truly interested in helping the CF in your own work but aren't sure where to start, you are allowed to join, regardless if you have children or the desire for them. The only request is that you leave any discussion of your children, no matter how cute you believe them to do be, at the door. This isn't due to child intolerance so much as it is this is our space here, and not all members even want to hear about children in a CF zone. I probably shouldn't have to point out that any attempts to tell us we'll "change our minds" and it's "different when they're your own" will get you shown out the door. Quickly. We've heard them all. We even have bingo cards for it.

Any church leader who is in agreement with Deliberate Childlessness: Moral Rebellion With a New Face need not apply. We don't need or want this brand of hate from the Church in our lives.

If the community has switched over from open membership to moderated joining, please drop me an email or comment to this post (if the comm's current settings allow for it) and explain who you are, and why you would like to join. We would be happy to have you here as our guest in the interest of broadening the ministry to include the Childfree by Choice.
