Andrew Urquhart wraps up marriage week with an acknowledgement to Charlie Kirk - American influencer, pro-life champion and advocate for traditional marriage.   The Hope Project's Dave Mann (alltogether.co.nz) credits the Turning Point USA founder as a skilled conversational apologist and spoke of the stabilising power of marriage to restore economic confidence and social cohesion. Rev. Dr Stuart Lange from the NZCN explains how marriage is a model of Christian love that should be empowered and encouraged within and outside the Church, while recognising that not all are called to that vocation. And the Free Speech Union warns that Charlie Kirk's tragic murder highlights why we must stop blurring the line between disagreement and actual violence. CEO Jillaine Heather says the danger of treating speech as an attack, is that "bullets start to look like defence".
