Bruce Clemenger, President of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada asked if I’d join a conference call today with 40 leaders from across the US discussing the “Let’s Strengthen Marriage Campaign“.  The call was organized by Chuck Stetson out of New York and it covered a seven pillar strategy to strengthen marriage involving Churches, Family, Education, Business, Media, Government and Arts and Entertainment. I was encouraged to hear of several great initiatives taking place in all seven areas in an effort to shore up the falling tide on marriage.  I was mostly encouraged though in regards to the effort of collaboration to make it all happen.  Within this campaign there is much cross-sector collaboration between the above mentioned pillars which is necessary for real change — on a national level — to materialize.  Here in Canada it’s high time we too join forces to do all we can to transform the relational landscape of our Canadian marriages and families.
