An Expanding Definition of Family
Family is a small but powerful word that defines an
increasingly diverse array of relationships and situations. as a culture, our
definition of family has gone through an evolution, albeit a sometimes slow and
painful one. so be careful about romanticizing that 1950s Leave It To Beaver
family. Yes, there are families that consist of one man and one woman who are
happily married to each other, who have never been married to anyone else and
who are rearing only their biological children born bout any reproductive
technology and born after the two the adults were legally married. Yes, that's
a great kind of family. there are many other fantastically loving, wonderful,
creative, fulfilling and healthy ways to make family. Even Jesus was born to an
unwed mom and raised by a doting stepfather. Listen. these days our film and
television culture is finally keeping up with the variety that is family.
