The World Congress of Families (WCF) is an international network of pro-family
organizations, scholars, leaders and people of goodwill from more than 60
countries that seek to restore the natural family as the fundamental social
unit and the 'seedbed' of civil society (as found in the UN Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, 1948). The WCF was founded in 1997 by Allan
Carlson and is a project of The Howard Center for Family, Religion & Society
in Rockford, Illinois (www.profam.org). To date, there have been four World
Congresses of Families - Prague (1997), Geneva (1999), Mexico City (2004) and
Warsaw, Poland (2007). A fifth World Congress of Families will be held in
Amsterdam, Netherlands, August 10-12, 2009 (www.worldcongress.nl and
