- "The past five years in Canada have seen a remarkable upsurge of concern and creative initiatives to support and strengthen family life. Among the more notable events have been the Canadian Conference on the Family held in Ottawa in 1964, which led directly to the establishment of the Vanier Institute on the Family; the Second North American Conference on the Family held in Hamilton in June 1966; and the two symposia on Family Planning (April 1966), and Family Life Education (September 1967), both of which were sponsored by Ortho Pharmaceutical (Canada) Ltd. Several Canadians who were present at the 1966 Hamilton Conference felt that it had suffered from a lack of adequate theological support. This concern was discussed in the Faith and Order Commission of the Canadian Council of Churches, and the Council requested this Commission to undertake a research project on Sexuality and Family Life. Ortho Pharmaceutical (Canada) Ltd. generously supported this two-year study as well as the printing of the resulting report". -- Foreword.
