In May 2004, the Annie E. Casey Foundation convened a diverse group of 15 faith and community leaders in sites where Casey’s Making Connections initiative is underway (Boston, Hartford, Louisville and Milwaukee.) The leaders were asked to: share their experience and perspectives on marriage promotion in low-income communities; listen and respond to recent research and policy initiatives on the subject of poverty, marriage, and child well being; explore what role, if any, the Foundation might wish to play in marriage promotion and enrichment in the future; and offer suggestions about what the Casey Foundation might do in this arena. In addition to taking part in the one-day consultation with other faith leaders, the Foundation invited participants to remain a second day and attend workshops and plenary sessions convened by the African American Healthy Marriage Initiative. This report highlights the themes of the discussions, comments, and reflections on the workshop. In general, all participants acknowledged marriage as an important issue for their communities to address in more holistic and strategic ways. Participants said they learned a great deal from the Casey meeting and were determined to provide more intentional endorsement and teaching on the topics of marriage and family formation. By contrast, most interviewees were not enthusiastic about their experience at the Saturday conference that followed the Casey meeting, and some questioned the selection of speakers and the format of the conference. Recommendations made for the Healthy Marriage and Family Promotion Initiative are summarized.
