The historic summit that brought together a diverse group of global faith leaders concluded last Wednesday.

Pope Francis set the tone in his opening remarks at the three-day conference by underscoring the importance of strengthening marriage and families.

“I pray that your colloquium will be an inspiration to all who seek to support and strengthen the union of man and woman in marriage as a unique, natural, fundamental and beautiful good for persons, communities and whole societies," he said.

President Henry B. Eyring of the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was among the faith leaders who addressed over 300 religious leaders and scholars from around the world who were gathered at the colloquium.
