	John Paul II - Familiaris Consortio
		Christian parents will thus be able to spread their love beyond the bonds of flesh and blood, nourishing the links that are rooted in the spirit and that develop through concrete service to the children of other families, who are often without even the barest necessities.
		The Christian family is called upon to take part actively and responsibly in the mission of the church in a way that is original and specific by placing itself in what it is and what it does as an "intimate community of life and love" at the service of the church and of society.
		Christian spouses and parents are required to offer "the obedience of faith."[121] They are called upon to welcome the word of the Lord, which reveals to them the marvelous news--the good news--of their conjugal and family life sanctified and made a source of sanctity by Christ himself.

	Why Focus On The Family is of the Devil: A Christian perspective - By Elroy
		The Colorado Springs-based religious organization is responsible for destroying the faith of countless believers through their radio programs, videos and books.
		They are readily accepted among most Christians because of their appearance of doing good and their perception of being Godly.
		They are deluded by their own image as defenders of family values and shielded from criticism by the "righteousness" of their cause.

		As Stuart Wright suggests, these organizational changes, despite the fact that adaptation was difficult because leaders were forced to relinquish authority, were significant because "the survival of COG and its success in foreign cultures, it seems safe to say, was contingent upon this pluralistic thrust.
		The Family was now under a watchful eye from the public, and at this time elected to issue a policy statement to the public to explain their beliefs, doctrines, and practices.
		The Family's core beliefs are very similar to those of fundamentalist Christians, in that they believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God, they believe in the Trinity, the Virgin birth, salvation by faith in Christ and most of the basic doctrines of fundamentalist Christians.

	Analysis of the Christian Coalition
		As part of the new Religious Right, the Christian Coalition, differs from traditional conservative groups since their primary issues are not government spending and fiscal responsibility, but rather they focus on denying gays and lesbians civil rights, banning access to abortion, teaching creationism in schools and eliminating the separation between church and state.
		The Christian Coalition is largely made up of Republican voters and politicians, while the liberal left with whom the are embattled with in the cultural war is made up of Democratic voters.
		The organization credits itself for helping elect hundreds of pro-family political leaders to local, state, and federal office, changing policy, and influencing decisions from school boards to the U.S. Congress.
