Contraception and the Church

There has been a lot of talk lately about contraception and what the Church should say about it...

In the Episcopal Church: "We believe that contraception and birth control are matters of individual conscience." is how I've seen it on the web and I think that is a practical way of putting our beliefs.

Other churches, most notable the Roman Catholic Church disagree.  Even some businesses claim it infringes on their beliefs. (Although, I find for profit companies arguments on this to be quite lacking in credibility.)

Rachel Held Evans has an important and thought provoking blogpost on this:

Read it.  I think she is spot on.
