"The Family: A Proclamation to the World" Study List

Description: This study list contains the full text of the proclamation, as well as an outline and study item for each paragraph to help you learn and study this important declaration.
In his October 2000 conference address, Elder David B. Haight related his meeting with a young women who had memorized this proclamation. He asked her what memorizing it's words had done for her. She related that "As I think of the statements in that proclamation, and as I understand more of our responsibility as a family and our responsibility for the way we live and the way we should conduct our lives, the proclamation becomes a new guideline for me. As I associate with other people and when I start dating, I can think of those phrases and those sentences in the proclamation on the family. It will give me a yardstick which will help guide me. It will give me the strength that I need."

This list contains the full text of the proclamation in a single study item, but is also organized in an outline form and is set to use Quote It's sequential feature. This means that Quote It will present the list's items in the same order as they appear in the study list. The order of the study list is to first learn the key concepts of each of the proclamation's paragraphs, then each paragraph in order, with the last study item being the proclamation in its entirety.

Suggested Usage: The best way to use this list is to use Quote It (There is limited value in using Chase with this list). Start by learning the key concepts of the proclamation as noted in the first "outline" study item (Note: You may wish to alter the contents of this outline to meet your own needs and/or understanding of each paragraphs contents). After you feel comfortable with the outline of the document, proceed with the first few paragraphs, probably using Learn mode to become familiar with them. After a few sessions, when you start feeling comfortable with the paragraphs you have learned, proceed a little farther into the list. As you get farther into the list, you may want to skip over the first items and spend your time working on the later ones. But don't forget to occasionally review all the concepts you have learned. Eventually, when you have worked through the entire list, you may want to switch to Quote It's Complete fill in mode for the complete proclamation's text (the last study item in the list) to ensure you have it memorized.
