On February 1, 1950, Yale University anthropologist George Murdock, addressing a meeting of the American Social Hygiene Association in New York, predicted that "within three generations" society would accept pre-marital sexual experimentation as a valuable aid in picking a mate. He urged the Protestant church to take the lead in such a "reform."
Professor Murdock was too modest in predicting such a change within three generations; the change took no more than three decades. He was perceptive in recognizing churches as potential leaders of social change; to see examples of Protestant churches' promotion of "reform" in human sexual relations and other areas, go to the websites of the United Church of Canada; Anglican Church of Canada; Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada; Evangelical Lutheran Church in America; Presbyterian Church (USA); and United Church of Christ.
