Christian Group Seeks Kansas Retreat for Families Wanting ‘Young, Fruitful Marriages’ for Children
This group seems to follow the teachings of the quiverfull movment.
A Christian group that advocates for early, “fruitful” marriage is promoting a retreat in Wichita this fall designed to bring together families who are “actively, deliberately seeking a marriage for one or more of their children.”
The “Get Them Married” retreat, originally planned for Nov. 3-6 at Camp Hiawatha in Wichita, is still a goal for Vaughn Ohlman, who runs the Let Them Marry ministry and website.
But an outcry from critics Thursday prompted Camp Hiawatha officials to refuse the group’s request to rent the venue.
“We just today got news that we’re not going to be able to use the retreat center,” said Laura Ohlman, Vaughn Ohlman’s daughter-in-law, who lives in Wichita and was helping organize and promote the event.
