The Complexity of the Family and the Challenge of the Church

The purpose of my writing is to persuade both the church and the

family of the urgency of revitalizing the family both through awareness of the condition of the

family and the need for spiritual education from the church.

Families are no longer living up to the standards that were preset by God, and as a result family

values, trust, and support is no longer a priority or consideration. The question that seems to be

ignored is where did the breakdown begin? What are the consequences of the breakdown? How

does it contribute to the ills of our society? What can be done to resolve it?

There is a need to address these issues because of the hurt, the sorrow, and the tragedy that

continues to exist in our world. If the world is going to be a better place both the family and the

church must be a catalyst for each other.
