Evesham is a township of about 49,000 in Burlington County, in the suburbs east of Camden. Its principal community is Marlton.
Burlington County holds Timbuctoo. In 1826 four Black men — believed to have escaped slavery in Maryland — bought land from a Quaker businessman in what is now Westampton Township. The settlement they founded grew past 125 residents and built a school, a church and a cemetery, and on the Rancocas within reach of the Delaware it became an established stop on the Underground Railroad. This county is also where the Quaker John Woolman spent his life arguing that no Christian could hold a human being as property — an argument New Jersey did not finish acting on until 1865.

Abortion reporting to the CDC is voluntary, and New Jersey is one of four jurisdictions that declines. Its own Department of Health publishes no count of induced terminations, by county or statewide. The state that wrote abortion access into its statutes does not record how often it happens.
There is no figure for Evesham, or for Burlington County, because there is no figure for anywhere in New Jersey. The best available independent estimate is 61,200 abortions provided by clinicians statewide in 2025.

Congregations we know of in Evesham Township that have taken a public abolitionist position — not simply a pro-life one.
We are not aware of a publicly abolitionist church in Evesham Township. We read every New Jersey congregation in the directory we work from — 106 of them — and found one in the whole state, in Glassboro. Abolitionists Rising, the movement's own national organisation, lists the same single church on its New Jersey page and no others. That is not a gap in the research. It is the situation.
If your church has taken a public position on abolition — from the pulpit, in a resolution, or in its own published words — tell us and we will verify it and list it here.
