Religion & Family Life

The Religion and Family Life Section furthers the cause and study of religion and its relationship to the family. The study and examination of the impact of religion on family life is examined as well as the relationship of religion to other family-related disciplines and NCFR Sections.

The Religion & Family Life Section does not have any related Focus Groups. A Focus Group consists of a set of NCFR members with a specific family life interest that is related to an existing NCFR Section, but that is not the sole focus of that Section.
