Amsterdam, Netherlands, Aug 13, 2009 / 21:35 pm
Concluding its 2009 meeting, the World Congress of Families (WCF) has issued its Amsterdam Declaration on the Family. The document defends the natural family as a “fundamental” of society and advocates its protection and encouragement.
The Congress, which took place from August 10 -12 in Amsterdam, describes itself as the world’s largest gathering of pro-family leaders and grass-roots activists.
The WCF Declaration, adopted on Wednesday, affirmed the statement in the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights that says the family is “the natural and fundamental group unit of society, and is entitled to protection by society and the State.”
