Furthermore, the National Catholic Register highlighted Dr. Atkinson’s contribution to the conference, stating:
[Dr. Atkinson] emphasized, “Families are to live their lives in Christ,” citing St. Paul in Ephesians 5:21 and how the domestic church should be “subject to one another in the fear of Christ.”
“Fatherhood must be lived out in Christ … lived out in daily relationships,” adding that this is very much needed in modern culture: “The Christian message is indeed good news.”
