Family advocates from more than 65 countries are expected to gather in Warsaw, Poland, this spring to discuss strategies for combating abortion, gay marriage and pornography worldwide. And for less than a similar trip to Washington, D.C., you could be among them.
The World Congress of Families (WCF) will feature speakers from five continents and help to devise an international pro-family agenda.
“It will be a wonderful opportunity because you will meet like-minded people from Africa, Europe, from Russia, from all over the world,” said Don Feder, communications director for WCF. “It’s hard to describe the electricity at this conference.”
Allan Carlson, founder of WCF, said Poland is an ideal location for the meeting.
“Pro-family people have an ally right now in the people of Poland," Carlson said. "They are bravely standing up for human life. They are under tremendous pressure to legalize homosexual marriage. They have resisted that very strongly."
Steve Jordahl, a correspondent for Family News in Focus, covered the last conference, in Mexico City in 2004.
“It was really great to see so many allies in the fight to preserve the family gathered in one place,” Jordahl said. “When it comes to strengthening parents’ rights, facing down the abortion lobby, engaging governments to help in the fight for families, we were able to stand arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder with them.”
