Thirty years after President Gordon B. Hinckley introduced “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” from the pulpit of the Salt Lake Tabernacle, two Brigham Young University professors say their decades of interfaith research confirm its prophetic principles.
Professors David Dollahite and Loren Marks, co-directors of BYU’s American Families of Faith Project, in a recent episode of the Church News podcast, reflected on 25 years of studying how faith strengthens marriages and families.
“‘The Family Proclamation’ is kind of a Liahona that can guide us through the wilderness of contemporary challenges,” Dollahite said. He added: “People who will learn and abide by those principles in ‘The Family Proclamation’ give themselves a much better opportunity to have strong marriages and families.”
