A student conference on the importance of marriage and its defense is scheduled to take place this August in San Diego. It aims to bring together students and faculty who support natural marriage to help educate and motivate a new generation.
The conference, titled “It takes a family to raise a village,” is co-sponsored by the Ruth Institute and the National Organization for Marriage. It will be held at the University of San Diego from August 6 to 9 and is free to accepted students. Some travel assistance is also available.
An announcement for the conference says it will provide students with an “intense weekend” in the company of top scholars from various disciplines to discuss the social significance of marriage and the family. Students will interact with like-minded students and faculty “from across the faith traditions that support natural marriage.”
Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder and president of the Ruth Institute, will be among the scholars participating in the conference.
