SUMMARY:The Future of Marriage: A Lecture and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The Future of Marriage\nPeaceful and Flourishing \nSunday\, November 15\, 2015\, 3 PM – 5 PM \nNew Covenant Church \n1 Bunting Lane\, Naperville\, IL 60565 \nIt is widely recognized that culture has reduced marriage to a superficial form. Today the secondary aspects such as the financial benefits of marriage have become the pillars upon which the institution rests. Tragically\, however\, the current view of marriage has flattened its depth and texture\, and has eviscerated its religious heart\, leading us to ask\, “What is the future of marriage?” \nIn response to this question\, RR Reno\, editor of First Things\, will offer a lecture that explores the immortality\, presence\, and peaceful character of marriage\, qualities that reflect its divine author. Following Dr. Reno’s address will be a discussion featuring two additional voices\, Dr. Dan Olsen of Loyola University and Mrs. Paige Cunningham of Trinity International University. This second hour will seek to connect the dots from a Godward vision to the homes in which marriages either fail or flourish. \nGUEST SPEAKERS\nR. R. Reno is Editor and Executive Director of First Things institute. He has been published in numerous academic journals; his essays and opinion pieces on religion\, public life\, contemporary culture\, and current events have appeared in Commentary and the Washington Post\, among other popular outlets.
