Pro-Faith, Pro-Choice. How to Be Effective Clergy and Religious Leaders for Choice
A manual for clergy who wish to become more active and involved in advocacy for women's rights and religious freedom. Pro-Faith, Pro-Choice inspires as well as informs clergy on how to increase their personal activities on behalf of choice, how to connect with established pro-choice organizations (including Religious Coalition affiliates) in their communities, and how to organize their own religious pro-choice advocacy groups.

Apply Our Hearts to Wisdom: A Guide to Faith-Based Comprehensive Sexuality Education

A guide for clergy who wish to incorporate faith-based sexuality education into their congregations' educational programs and are looking for guidance on where to find appropriate materials and on how to evaluate those materials. The guide provides the rationale and then gives the tools for clergy and congregations to engage in faith-based comprehensive sexuality education. Part I presents the rationale for doing this work and the necessary components for a good comprehensive sexuality curriculum. Part II provides bibliographies of faith-based curricula. Part III gives an in-depth look at select faith-based curricula created by and for pro-choice denominations, analyzed and evaluated according to the criteria laid out in Part I.

Faith & Choices Action Kits
The Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice has developed Action Kits for religious leaders and congregations. The kits are intended to assist groups in exploring what being pro-choice and pro-faith means today. They can be used as a curriculum for study circles, adult education classes, and youth groups and as a resource for sermons, conversations with youth, and counseling women and men, among other possibilities. Seven kits have been developed for seven denominations including:
  • Presbyterian Church (USA)
  • Episcopal Church
  • United Church of Christ
  • United Methodist Church
  • Unitarian Universalist Association
  • Conservative Judaism
  • Reform Judaism
