Key Upcoming Events: Warsaw, Poland and Omaha, Nebraska

As I've mentioned before, Claire and I head out this evening to Warsaw, Poland, for the World Congress of Families IV. If all goes well, I'll be doing some "live blogging" of this truly momentous event and so I hope your visits to Vital Signs Blog will give you some appreciation of the important work being conducted there.

Among the speakers will be Steven W. Mosher, President of the Population Research Institute; Dr. Anatoly Antonov, Professor of Sociology and Demography at Lomonosso University in Moscow; Tom Minnery of Focus on the Family; Dr. Wesley J. Smith of the Discovery Institute; Benjamin W. Bull from the Alliance Defense Fund; Dr. Paige Patterson, President of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, President of the Pontifical Council for the Family; Austin Ruse, President of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute; Dr. Patrick Fagan from the Heritage Foundation; Dr. Janice Shaw Crouse, Senior Fellow of the Beverly LaHaye Institute at Concerned Women for America; Fr. Thomas Euteneuer, President of Human Life International; columnist Don Feder; and Dr. Allan C. Carlson, President of the Howard Center for Family, Religion and Society.

And more!

Please pray that the Congress will be protected by God and accomplish everything that He desires to better promote the sanctity of life, freedom of religion, family life and traditional family values throughout Europe and the world.
