Thank you for this update. Sadly, it seems as though Thrivent Financial for Christians is seeking to remove itself as an organization from controversy by not supporting either of these types of organizations, be that Pro-Choice or Pro-Life. To be fair, there are pros and cons of each organization. Many pro-choice organization offer other health services, such as cancer screenings, directed towards women. And while pro-life centers serve as a place for us to reach out to women in crisis, their outreach services often focus of abstinence only. This is a message that is appropriate for Christians with the backing of their faith who know that they are new creations in Christ and no longer bound to sin, but I don't think it is reasonable to expect that the un-churched can muster the willpower to overcome temptation in this way. A more holistic approach is needed to reach out to the un-churched. Thrivent will probably defer to a vote from their board or their membership to determine if they should continue to support either of these organizations so as to not upset the membership who may lean one way or the other. This is how a business would run, but it is not how a fraternal organization should be run, especially not one rooted in the Lutheran tradition. When I got myself up to my eyeballs in debt, I turned to Thrivent for help (e.g., financial counseling, debt consolidation loan, etc.). But, I got no help from them and I'll always remember that about Thrivent Financial for Christians.
