How can I volunteer for a pregnancy crisis center without being a Christian?

Question

I didn't think that was a qualification until I actually got an application and that was the first thing they asked me. On my application, it asks me about my church attendance and whether I think the Bible is infallible. I am just sick because I wanted to help babies get born and I didn't want to discuss my faith with any of them. I believe that there aren't many of them who would even want to hear it during their moment of crisis and may actually be relieved that I'm not into proselytizing. So, I've got to pretend that I am and then explain to the mother that I'm not? Would she have any faith in me if I did that? What are my other choices?

Answer 1

REALLY?! That's amazing! Aren't there any there without having to be around fundies? I'm Christian and I wouldn't want to be there.  

Answer 2

definitely do not pretend to be christian. you know that that will lead to trouble. if that program is only for christian helpers, then its not for you. if you really wanna do this, just find another center that way you wont have to lie about it and you can feel good about what your doing. :)

Answer 3

Find a program that's not faith based. Don't lie and pretend to be something you're not. If I were going to a crisis center because I knew they were based on religion, I wouldn't want someone who doesn't know my faith counseling me.  

Answer 4

you could apply at planned parenthood. they are non religious,and they actually do provide counseling about all options, not just abortion.  

Answer 5

Crisis Pregnancy Centers do proselytize, so IMO by volunteering at one you're condoning that. Could you instead volunteer for a secular place that helps single moms?

Answer 6

Try other organizations that do similar work. Your local United Way office probably has a list of organizations and their contact numbers.

Do they think that Muslims, Buddhists, agnostics, and Jews do not have pregnancy issues? They may only be serving their "own kind" which is truly a sad state of affairs.  What is Christian about that?

Thanks for being an honest person; to thine own self be true.
