SWBTS profs address World Congress of Families

[QUOTE@left@25@=“[T]itanic global contest over the nature of society and the fate of children … has now come to a head.”-World Congress of Family’s “Tbilisi Declaration”]FORT WORTH, Texas (BP) -- Evan Lenow and Candi Finch from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary’s faculty were among 50-plus speakers at the 10th World Congress of Families in Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia.

It denies any natural order to human life. And it degrades children into nuisances or tools to serve adult ends.
