Organization[edit]

Rachel's Vineyard might not be a particularly large organization, but they are national in scope and they do help people. Leaving the article in might just enable someone to get the counseling they need. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dutchman Schultz (talk • contribs)

Wikipedia does not exist to "enable someone to get the counseling they need". If the organization is not notable, this article should be deleted. - SummerPhD (talk) 02:48, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Excommunication controversy[edit]

The article should probably mention the excommunication controversy surrounding abortion, i.e. women who have an abortion on their own without being coerced in any way automatically leave the Church under canon 1398, which pronounces the sanction latae sententiae. It's difficult to imagine how to minister to people when they have already been told that they are excommunicated. ADM (talk) 20:03, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article should only mention such a "controversy" when independent reliable sources discuss such a controversy in relation to the subject of this article. - SummerPhD (talk) 02:50, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That MIGHT be a controversy if excommunication were irrevocable, but it's not. Readmission to the sacrements is addressed by many of the publications of Rachel's Vineyard and this is considered an important part of ones spiritual healing.Dutchman Schultz (talk) 16:41, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Rachel's Vineyard. Please take a moment to review my edit.

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
