Sarah Northwood is the wife of Father Rob Northwood who serves as the rector of The Church of Reconciliation
(Charismatic Episcopal Church) in Bel Air, MD. She and her husband are
the parents of six children. A couple of months ago, Sarah participated
in an event in Washington, D. C. Unlike some events in which clergy
wives participate, this event put Sarah in a place where she was
exposed, vulnerable, and open to potential ridicule. A woman of courage
and commitment, these are her own words:

“This year I was given the opportunity to stand with the women and men of Silent No More at the March for Life
in Washington DC. This is a campaign which exists to make the public
aware of the devastation abortion brings to women, men, and their
families. Knowing from my own experience how painful abortion is, I
knew immediately that I wanted to join them as they shared their
testimonies on the steps of the Supreme Court following the March.”

“Holding a sign which said, ‘I regret My
Abortion,’ I didn’t know what to expect as the marchers filed past.
Would they judge me? Would they hold me in contempt? After all,
probably not many of them have done such a horrible thing. But, as God
is gracious, so are His people. I found compassion in their eyes. Many
stopped to hug each one of us and to tell us that they appreciated our
willingness to share our stories for the benefit of others and the
babies.”
