She went  to a LLL meeting the other day and was really put off by the 
overtones of  religion in
her local group and is looking for someone a little more  "mainstream" for a
pre-baby consult and in case of  difficulties.



~~ Lisa,
 
LLL is not a religious organization. In fact it is the one organization I  
know of that has membership across political and religious and cultural and  
geographic lines, is as varied as it is and  wonderful at keeping on track  
for mothers and babies while being so careful about mixing causes and 
losing  focus. At any meeting there should be tolerance of any and all or no 
religious  affiliations. Having led many meetings with varied mom and moms-to-be 
who were  atheist, Christian, Orthodox Jewish, Buddhist, spiritual but not 
religiously  affiliated, etc all in the same meeting, the Leader is 
responsible for  making sure the no one feels put off by another participant's 
views. I would  call the Leader to let her know this mom's experience. If the 
Leader was part of  it, I would contact her District Advisor or someone at 
LLLI. 
 
Peace,
