Resolution 117
The Family in Contemporary Society - Marriage
The Conference welcomes the growth of marriage guidance councils, which prepare people for marriage and assisting in maintaining a stable married life. It recommends that the clergy and Church people of mature faith and with the right qualifications should be encouraged to offer themselves for training as counsellors. It believes that such counsel, given as a Christian vocation by well-trained Christian husbands and wives, is a volunteer service of great value, makes an important contribution to the community, and deserves government support.
