Church teaching on family

Roman Catholic Church

" All members of the family, each according to his or her own gift, have the grace and responsibility of building day by day the community of persons making a family a school of deeper humanity. This happens when there is care and love for the children, the aged and the sick; where there is a sharing of goods, of joys and of sorrows"

Pope John Paul II

Church of England

It investigates the tensions within modern relationships, “specifically those experienced by parents, women as mothers, men as fathers, childless couples, single people, cohabitees and gay and lesbian couples.” It concluded that “it is the quality of relationship irrespective of the form of relationship which the Church should endorse if the Church is to continue to offer a place of acceptance for hurting people where they can find wholeness.”

The report highlighted the role of the Church and individual Christians in providing “advice, counselling, homes, preparation for marriage, mediation in family conflict, parenting courses, youth clubs and above all, friendship.
