My husband is close to getting his degree in graphic design. He has to do a sample brochure for a group-- and has decided to do one for Take Heart Project. It's probable that, after he has submitted it for a grade and received it back, THP will be able to use the brochure as part of its PR campaign.
I have given him text and articles taken from the NLQ blogsite. But what he still needs is something I haven't been able to find for him:
He needs a description of what the Patriarchal/Quiverfull movement is, in 100 words or less. I realize that the beliefs and practices of QF/P are all over the place, and I have tried to give him basics, but he needs something very, very short and to-the-point, in one paragraph.
Anyone who is ex-QF or otherwise feels qualified to write this, could you post it here?
Thanks!

I have attempted a short definition myself. What do you all think?
A grass-roots movement has been growing for the last 20 years among evangelical/fundamentalist Christian families. Using a literalistic approach to the Bible, these families withdraw from modern culture into a strict patriarchal structure where birth control of any kind is eschewed and fathers control an ever-growing brood of children, home-schooled by a submissive wife. Considering children to be a “quiver of arrows” in the culture-wars over “family values,” people in this movement describe themselves in many terms. “Quiverfull” is perhaps the most convenient.

KR ~ sorry I missed your original post asking for help. I like what you've come up with here. I don't have anything to add as you've covered the important points. Good luck to MrWordgazer on the graphic design project.

Thanks, Vyckie. I'll get the text to him as is, then.
