"Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success can compensate for failure in the home”

That statement, from a President of the CJCLDS - and often quoted since, is an example of the unique Christian perspective of Mormonism.
My conviction is that the statement is empirically true, and a nearly-always applicable generalization.
What a difference it would make to the world, if human life (including political life, law, work, education and so on) was organized on this basis! - on the assumption that this is the condition towards which we ought to be striving!
