The Christian family is a democratic institution recognizing the personal values and individual rights of all its members.

The home and its importance cannot be overemphasized. It is the best and finest school of character. For there are learned the fundamental attitudes in human relationships of honesty, integrity, unselfishness, thoughtfulness, and sympathy. In the family circle children are trained in obedience, love, wisdom, and piety. It is a world in miniature. Only the child who has learned in the family to hate deceit and cheating, impurity and baseness, can be expected to hate injustice and crookedness, oppression and cruelty in the wider life of business and community relations.
