I serve on the board of directors of The Institute for American Values, a private, nonpartisan organization devoted to research, publication and public education on issues of family well-being and civil society. The Institutewhose president is David Blankenhorn, a key witness against gay marriage in the Proposition 8 trial in California in 2010announced last week that it would no longer participate in the debate about same-sex marriage.
The Institute’s message was declared in a letter titled, "A Call for a New Conversation on Marriage," which I signed along with more than 70 other signatories, including scholars, theologians, journalists and public intellectuals. In the letter, the Institute renounced the culture war that somebut not allof its members were a part of, in favor of the pro-marriage/healthy family agenda that was the original purpose of the Institute.
