Letter to the editor: Holy family the model

Notes: "I was very pleased to see the painting of the Holy Family gracing the cover of the December 2012 issue of the 'Anglican Journal'. Not only is it appropriate for Advent and Christmas, it is also a reminder that the Holy Family is the role model for Christian families". I have been concerned in recent years about social justice for infants and children who have no opportunity to declare their choice about the gender of those who are parenting them. Having a mother and father as parents follows the natural law in raising a child. When children lack a role model for their gender, it makes dysfunction in their development more probable".
