Marriage and Children – Reshaping the Dialog to Reflect the Human Reality When: 7pm - Tuesday, July 27 Where: Father Kozina Hall, St. Margaret Mary Church, 1219 Excelsior Avenue, Oakland, CA Join the St. Anthony of Padua Institute for a talk with Bill May, Chairman of Catholics for the Common Good, and leader of the Catholic response in the Prop 8 campaign, on Tuesday, July 27th at the Father Kozina Hall in St. Margaret Mary Church. The threat of enshrining same-sex “marriage” in law is merely the culmination of much more insidious threats that are undermining the understanding of marriage, motherhood, and fatherhood in every family. This talk will focus on how to apply the lessons of Prop 8 to rebuilding a marriage culture. Surprisingly, the answer has less to do with homosexuality and related lifestyles, and more to do with confusion that leads many to unwittingly accept false premises. Restoring a marriage culture is not possible without re-grounding ourselves in reality and our shared human experience. Visit www.sapi.org for more information or call 888-619-7882.
