Dr. John Bergsma

And the analogy I used earlier, the picture doesn't change, but the picture gets more and more in focus as we proceed.

So we can draw clearer, sharper lines around the different dogmas that we believe, the different teachings that we believe.

and get more and more precise.

And because we have a living interpretive voice, we are able to deal with questions that arise that were not foreseen by previous generations.

Previous generations didn't have to deal with, for example, with chemical contraceptives in exactly the same way, although they did have some.

So there was already an initial response to abortion and contraception, because there were primitive forms of that in the early church.

And then that's become more precise, you know, over time.

But things like AI, you know, it's not anticipated.

IVF.

Right.

Right.

Absolutely.

Intravenous.

In vitro fertilization.

In vitro fertilization.

Yeah.

Thank you.

It wasn't foreseen in previous generations, so the church has to respond.

What do we say about IVF?

It presents different moral challenges.
