Food for Thought: the Christian Family

Mike Aquilina at The Way of the Fathers has fast become a "must read" blog for me. Take a look at these two articles he wrote about the essential role of the Christian family in the development of the early Church and, indeed, in Christianity itself.

These are long but well worth the time. Eye opening and thought provoking, they tie in quite well to recent conversations generated both by my book club and by a weekly Bible study ... but I think they can be appreciated even without that "prep" work.

• Salt of the Empire: The Role of the Christian Family in Evangelization ... this actually was a follow up article to this post, The Stark Truth which is also well worth reading, as is the interview to which it links.


• Roman Cruelty, Christian Purity is a follow up article to the Salt of the Empire.
