The Connection Between Faith and Family

For all its progress and possibilities, our modern world has difficulty seeing beyond itself. Every age has to struggle against its blind spots. In ancient Rome, for example, the span of a person’s influence was reckoned at 100 years. Within that horizon individuals could remember two generations back and care for two generations forward.

Poll: Utah voters believe Romney's Mormon faith hurting him less this time
