Session Overview
The attack on the Patriarchal Family does not diminish the tremendous value and important role that fathers play in the lives of their wives and children. The absence of fathers has resulted in great devastation on personal and societal levels. In the words of George Herbert “One father is more than one hundred school masters.” Without a father to provide protection and instill the morals, values, and knowledge necessary for constructive living, children are left to learn such things from society. When the father is absent, the home is more susceptible to outside influences that encourages destructive behaviors and attitudes. To restore society the family must be restored, and the family will never be restored without the father.
