In the February meeting of the Church of the Nazarene\u2019s Board of General Superintendents, the decision was made to support the statement of the National Association of Evangelicals, of which the Church of the Nazarene is a member, regarding the recent Health and Human Services contraception rule in the U.S.<\/p>\n

That statement reads:<\/p>\n

\n

The National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) remains concerned about the narrow exemption for religious employers contained in the Health and Human Services final rule published in February requiring free sterilization and contraceptive services in all new health insurance plans. The U.S. President\u2019s proposal, also made in February, did not alter the definition of religious employer.<\/p>\n

Under the rule, a \u201creligious employer\u201d is defined as an entity that is registered as a church or association of churches, hires mainly its own people, serves mainly its own people, and exists mainly to inculcate religious values. <\/p>\n

\u201cNo other federal law or regulation leaves such a broad range of religious organizations unprotected,\u201d said Galen Carey, NAE vice president of Government Relations. \u201cThe administration chose a narrow definition of religious employer, withholding protection for groups that serve those outside their own religious communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most evangelicals support access to contraception, except for those drugs and methods that may function as abortifacients. But evangelicals oppose requiring organizations with religious objections to violate their conscience. <\/p>\n

The NAE is still studying the President\u2019s proposal to allow religious groups not exempted from the contraception and sterilization mandate to offer plans without those services, while requiring the groups\u2019 insurance carriers to offer the excluded services to plan participants directly and without charge. Details of these arrangements have not yet been released. The proposed work-around would not protect employers that are self-insured. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate the administration\u2019s tacit acknowledgement that the current policy inadequately protects religious groups,\u201d Carey said. \u201cWe hope they will sit down with affected organizations and make further changes to the rules. Meanwhile, Congress should pass legislation making religious and conscience protections permanent, so these fundamental issues are not vulnerable with every change in administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The mission of the National Association of Evangelicals<\/a> is to honor God by connecting and representing evangelical Christians. The NAE includes more than 45,000 local churches from more than 40 different denominations and serves a constituency of millions. Founded in 1942, the Association is currently led by President Leith Anderson.
