WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- On Monday, January 11 at 7:00 p.m. EST, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins will deliver his second annual an address on the "State of the Family." This report to the nation will highlight key issues of concern to families and our broader culture and offer policy proposals to strengthen protections of human life, marriage, and religious liberty.

The speech will be given at FRC's headquarters one day before President Obama delivers his annual State of the Union address. Kentucky County Clerk Kim Davis will attend the speech. Also in attendance will be Dr. Everett Piper, President of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, which filed suit against Obamacare in 2013 for violating its conscience rights.

Also in the audience will be Jason Rowland, principal of Airline High School in Bossier, Louisiana, which has been threatened with a lawsuit by secularists, and Texas Pastors Hernan Castano and Charles Flowers, who have led successful efforts to defend religious liberty and protect their cities against the advent of transgendered bathrooms.
