Social Conservatives to Descend on Amsterdam for Global Meeting

Up to 4,000 social conservatives are expected to descend upon liberal Amsterdam, Netherlands, on August 10-12 for the biennial World Congress of Families, a meeting that brings together scholars, academics, policy makers, elected officials, and activists for four days of speeches, lectures, and networking. The conference will address the influence of the media on the family, the role of faith and the churches, demographic winter, the United Nations and its effect on the unborn and the family, migration, HIV/Aids, the roles of mothers and fathers, and many other topics. A government official on the selection committee said that the Dutch government welcomes vigorous debate and that the Congress would be welcome. C-Fam
