Why do we have "The Family: A Proclamation to the World?"
President Gordon B. Hinkley: “Why do we have this proclamation on the family now? Because the family is under attack. All across the world, families are falling apart. The place to begin to improve society is in the home. Children do, for the most part, what they are taught. We are trying to make the world better by making the family stronger” (“Inspirational Thoughts,” Ensign, Aug. 1997, 5).

What prompted the writing of "The Family Proclamation?"
President Boyd K. Packer described the circumstances behind issuing the Proclamation: a world conference on the family sponsored by the United Nations in Beijing, China. We sent representatives. It was not pleasant what they heard. They called another one in Cairo. Some of our people were there. I read the proceedings of that. The word marriage was not mentioned. It was at a family conference, but the marriage was not mentioned. They then announced they would have such a conference here in Salt Lake City. Some of us made the recommendation: "They are coming here. We had better proclaim our position."
