A prominent Christian think tank has come out fiercely in favor of better family leave policies, defending federally mandated family leave policies on theological grounds, the Vox website reports today (July 20, 2018).
"Christian families can form themselves along a divine vision of work and family as holistic complements," a report released July 17 reads.
The report -- authored by Katelyn Beaty and Rachael Anderson of the Center for Public Justice -- advocates for changes on a federal scale, calling for an expansion of the Family Medical Leave Act.
"Christian teaching recognizes families' crucial role in society to nurture and protect the sacredness of life at all stages," the center said. "Paid family leave is an important way to promote family life and family cohesion, particularly for the many households that cannot otherwise afford to elect family care over paid work."
