The Religion and Family Life section would like to play a significant role in promoting the study of religion and family life. As a section in an interdisciplinary organization, we provide a unique forum for the latest scholarship from a variety of disciplines.

Our primary vehicle for doing this is the NCFR Annual Conference. The Religion and Family Life Section had 22 outstanding proposals submitted for the 2012 conference, and while we are pleased with the quality of the proposals submitted, we know that there are a number of professionals who could add to the breadth and depth of our conference offerings.

We would like to encourage you to start thinking about submitting a proposal to the 2013 conference. If our goal is to become a leader in the dissemination of research on religion and family life, then our conference offerings shold reflect the foremost research in the field.
