“Freedom, the Family and the Market: A Humane Response to the Socialist Attack on the Family”
January 3, 2008
12:00 - 1:30pm
St. Cecilia Music Center
Dexter Ballroom
24 Ransom Avenue NE
Grand Rapids, MI, 49503
Description:
The socialist ideal of equality has played an independent role in the breakdown of the family. Socialism has attacked the family directly, and has adopted policies that have led to demographic collapse. Christianity and capitalism offer more appealing solutions to the problems socialism claims to solve.
Short bio of the speaker:
Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D. brings a unique voice to discussions of love, marriage, sexuality and the family. A committed career woman before having children, she earned a doctorate in economics, and spent fifteen years teaching at Yale University and George Mason University. In 1991, she and her husband adopted a two year old Romanian boy, and gave birth to a baby girl. She left her full-time university teaching post in 1996 to move with her family to California. She was a Research Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. She is now a part-time Research Fellow at the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty, and writes and speaks about love, marriage, sexuality and the family. Until August 2006, Dr. Morse and her husband were foster parents for San Diego County, where they now reside.
