The Christian Family Movement: A Social Movement of the 1960's

Abstract

The 1960's are more than a decade removed from us. For many Americans these years were traumatic times filled with tension, fear and challenges to ideals or beliefs. For others, the sixties were inspiring— a time for examining the principles on which our society is founded, and the authority and institutions which support it. It would seem unlikely, therefore, if not impossible, for anyone who experienced the intensity of the social movements of the sixties to remain unchanged. The question we face today is to what extent have the sixties affected those who were caught up in one or more of the social movements.
