The family as the foundational unit of both society and God's eternal plan — the claim that strong families are the irreplaceable basis of human flourishing, social stability, and spiritual progress.

What's at issue

The family as the foundational unit of both society and God's eternal plan — the claim that strong families are the irreplaceable basis of human flourishing, social stability, and spiritual progress. The eternal promise that family relationships can be perpetuated beyond the grave through sacred temple ordinances. The Family Proclamation's central teaching that the family is central to the Creator's plan; "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" as the doctrinal anchor of this conviction; discussions of the Proclamation on the Family and its place in the gospel.
