The Gabriel Network

The Gabriel Network (formerly known as the Gabriel Project) is an ecumenical movement in Maryland and D.C. of churches standing together in their commitment to offer assistance to women and families facing crisis pregnancies. Participating congregations advertise this commitment by placing a Sign of Life in front of their church:

The Gabriel Network has built a network of more than 65 participating churches of various denominations, as well as nondenominational ones, in Maryland, D.C. and southern Pennsylvania, taking referrals from dozens of pregnancy centers and two statewide Gabriel Network hotlines (English and Spanish). The Project has helped more than 6000 mothers and their children in its first decade. The Project has four transitional homes for women and children. For more information, and to offer support, contact:

Crisis Pregnancy Centers

Crisis pregnancy centers usually provide a wide range of services for pregnant women and their male partners who would have great difficulty in maintaining themselves and their baby without assistance. This assistance is usually provided without fee. Although some of them are religiously affiliated, the services are usually provided without regard to the woman's religious affiliation or lack of affiliation. Most provide or refer to free pregnancy testing. Many provide counseling, or referrals to counseling, to persons struggling with the aftermath of abortion.
