Blessing Abortion Planned Parenthood is an odd assignment for a workplace chaplain Ted Olsen
May 21, 2002
Workplace chaplains were on the rise before September 11, and have risen dramatically in prominence and number since then. At one of the largest organizations, Dallas-based Marketplace Ministries, requests have grown 50 percent since September. But few posts are stranger than the appointment a United Methodist bishop gave to Seattle's Monica Corsaro. She's now the first full-time, statewide chaplain for Planned Parenthood (though other chapters have volunteer chaplains). Corsaro, former head of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, told The Seattle Times she once wondered, "Why am I here with my political friends who can't stand Christianity, and why are my Christian friends on the other side?" Maybe she should ask herself again. Related Elsewhere
