Delegates to the fifth World Congress of Families concluded their gathering this past week with the release of a declaration affirming that “the future of nations rests on families that are spiritually grounded.”
“Representing families and organizations from over 60 nations, we delegates … affirm Article 16, par. 3, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, agreeing that ‘the family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society, and is entitled to protection by society and the State,’” stated the “Amsterdam Declaration” that was adopted following the conclusion of the WCF’s Aug. 10-12 gathering in the Netherlands.
The Howard Center for Family, Religion and Society, sponsor of WCF V, is based in Rockford IL
