Healing the Culture offers speakers, training and educational tools to build a pro-life culture

SEATTLE, WA (August 9, 2012) - "No big deal."

We hear that all the time ... everywhere ... for just about any reason. "I forgot about that meeting." "I'm sorry I missed your birthday." "I had to work late last night." People from all walks of life, from every faith, shrug off these and a myriad of other things with those three little words ... "no big deal."

Sadly, too many people think that way about human life itself - and that's where HEALING THE CULTURE comes in - a group whose vision is to build a pro-life culture by teaching people the deeper meaning of happiness, quality of life, love and freedom.

Camille Pauley and Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J. Ph.D., founded HEALING THE CULTURE because too many people don't realize that being human is special.

"We saw the pressing need to open people's hearts and minds to understanding the life issues in a new way," Pauley said. "We're committed to opening people's eyes to the good news that there really is something special about being human."

HEALING THE CULTURE is unique in the world of pro-life education, and necessary because of its exclusive elements. When it comes to education that inspires respect for life, the organization is at the forefront.

Protecting unborn human life is central to the mission of HEALING THE CULTURE. So is protecting vulnerable people from euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide, human cloning, and other destructive practices. "We promote the dignity of human life at all stages,'" Pauley said. "but we do it in a very unique way."

HEALING THE CULTURE provides speakers and resources that address pro-life ethics from a deeply philosophical point of view. Its approach to pro-life education complements traditional Church teaching, but the primary language used is not religious or theological. Instead, it works to change hearts and minds through logic, reason, and inspiration. "We help people learn the deeper meanings of happiness, freedom and quality of life, and motivate them to apply basic principles of reason, ethics and justice to their position on the life issues," said Pauley.

The group also offers conferences, training sessions, and resources for teachers, parents, students, pastors, religious educators, youth group leaders, pro-life organizations, and others.

Later this year, HEALING THE CULTURE will introduce the landmark Principles and Choices© high school curriculum across the country. The program has been tested in Catholic schools in the Diocese of Mobile, Ala., and the Archdiocese of Seattle, Wash. Feedback from students proved to be eye opening - literally and figuratively. "I did change my mind on abortion," one student said. "I want the babies to be born, and then to be adopted."

About the Founders

She has co-produced six video series and authored dozens of articles.

In addition to co-founding HEALING THE CULTURE and serving as its President, Pauley also is the founder of Being With©, a project that trains individuals to provide compassionate visitation to people with debilitating or terminal illnesses or injuries.

Spitzer has spoken to thousands of audiences, and has provided ethics consulting for more than 300 organizations - including Boeing, Caterpillar, Toyota, Costco, the British Prime Minister's Cabinet, the leadership of Costa Rica, Protestant and Catholic leadership in Northern Ireland, and the Orthodox Church in Russia.
