Pornography is a $10 billion per year business that dehumanizes women, harms children, destroys relationships and is addictive. Because of widespread access to the internet and adult television channels in the privacy of the home or workplace, anyone can now access images that used to be limited to low lights and out-of-the way places. Faith Community Church will sponsor a two-part conference, called Hope for Parents and Men in a Sex-Saturated Society, Sept. 18 and 19 with Rick Kardos, northeast director of the National Coalition for the Protection of Families and Children, as keynote speaker.

The conference will include a Friday evening seminar for parents and a Saturday morning session for men who struggle with pornography. To register and for information on the seminars, call 508-627-8918. There will be a freewill offering.
