Redemption

Most cultures treat property and objects that have been used for excessive evil or excessive good as different than other object or properties, setting them aside for respect or as defiled. It's not necessarily a religious thing, since we have all of our noteworthy historical places as do most nations. But it seems unique to Christianity to take site of unspeakable evil and then use them for good. It invokes a picture of God's redemption of our own sinful lives.

According to her autobiography, Maria von Trapp tells that the Trapp family estate in Austria was commandeered by Adolph Hitler as his Austrian headquarters, where rumors of his cruelty shocked nearby Salzburg. After the war the family was approached about the house and they had no intentions of returning to a place used for such evil. It was then handed over to the Catholic church, which turned it into a seminary. A redemption of a property soiled by evil.

In Fort Wayne, Indiana the Women's Health Clinic at 827 Webster St. was the focal point of numerous protests as the clinic daily murdered the unborn children of the confused women who went there for a "convenient" solution to the consequences of their actions. Eventually the clinic sued the protestors and an appeals court judge, one of those stealth Liberals Reagan mistakenly appointed, awarded the Abortuary over $60,000. One of the protestors, Bryan Brown, rather than having to pay the fine and fund murder, abandoned his house, quit his job and fled to Kansas. There he joined Operation Rescue. He eventually went to law school, served as an attorney for the American Family Association Center for Law & Policy then later as part of the Consumer Protection and Antitrust Division for Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline.

Recently Brown heard that the building the Fort Wayne Women's "Health" Clinic used for their slaughter of babies was for sale, he out together enough money to purchase it, and is now in the process of passing the bar in Indiana, and resuming his activism there.

The purchase price of the building is almost exactly what his fines (since dismissed) had been. He plans to, through the organization he is building, Donnagal Corridor, to turn the building into a "Culture of Life Center" which will focus on efforts to prevent the murder of more babies in this holocaust of abortion.
