We have just confirmed that Catholic Radio of San Diego will be broadcasting live from the opening event of our ITAF conference. We are very excited about this development. Live broadcasts make the event more fun, and they make for good radio. The host that evening will be Hugh Largey. We expect that I will do a short interview, at least one of our faculty will do an interview, and probably some of our student activists. So come on down to Point Loma, or tune in to Catholic Radio of San Diego, 1000 AM KCEO.
From the frc.org article:
A large and growing body of scientific evidence indicates that the intact, married family is best for children. In particular, the work of scholars David Popenoe, Linda Waite, Maggie Gallagher, Sara McLanahan, David Blankenhorn, Paul Amato, and Alan Booth has contributed to this conclusion.
This statement from Sara McLanahan, a sociologist at Princeton University, is representative: Read more…

This incident is just more evidence of Planned Parenthood’s mindset and priorities.

Still more to come on this front, but ITAF’s closing lecture is featured in this week’s newsletter, so it’s up out of order.
Dr J delivers the closing lecture (also entitled “It Takes a Family to Raise a Village”) at Ruth Institute’s summer student conference. She traces the roles of marriage in society and gives examples of how the devaluation of marriage has hurt women and children (particularly among the poor and those in Marxist states).

More from “It Takes a Family”–here’s the podcast of Adam Weinberg’s talk, entitled “Spreading the Message on Campus.” The California regional field coordinator from the Leadership Institute discussed how to recruit and inform on campus and gave an overview of some of the discrimination and other obstacles conservative students face.

Keep checking the podcast page for more lectures from “It Takes a Family.” The most recent one up is Dr. Robert Gagnon’s talk, entitled “Jesus and Sex.” He’s a professor from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, and he discussed what Jesus taught about sex–including marriage, homosexuality, and divorce–and how His teachings related to the Mosaic law and the mores of the culture.

There are a few more podcasts up for your listening pleasure–one from our recent “It Takes a Family” conference, and the other two are interviews of Dr J on Issues, Etc.
Dr J gave the opening talk at ITAF 2010; entitled Marriage and Freedom in Society, it discusses what marriage does for society and some of the consequences (especially those relating to children) if we choose to dissolve or weaken it. Some of the areas she covers include divorce law, state intervention, and parenthood.
The two Issues, Etc interviews discuss the response to Judge Walker’s attitude about the Prop 8 case (Shot in the Arm…or the Foot?) and another group of Mama Grizzlies, this one opposed to Sarah Palin (Sarah Palin vs. Mama Grizzlies). Dr J’s exposition on the arrogance of both subjects is excellent.

The first two podcasts of talks given at this year’s summer student conference are up on the podcast page for your listening pleasure. There will be around 10 talks when all of them are podcasted (categorized under “ITAF 2010″). Thanks to everyone who was a part of “It Takes a Family.”

Last year, one of the favorite profs at ITAF was Prof Robert Gagnon of the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.
He gave two great talks, one on Marriage and the Bible, and the other on What the Bible teaches about Homosexuality. His wit and learning make him a great speaker!
