The Manhattan Declaration: A Must Read for Concerned Christians

The Manhattan Declaration, released last Friday, is a major statement of concern on three issues that unite professing Christians across a wide spectrum. That spectrum is made obvious when you see the signatories include Dr. Albert Mohler of Southern Seminary, James Dobson of Focus on the Family, and Ron Sider of Evangelicals for Social Actions, as well as Roman Catholic and Eastern Othodox representatives.

The three issues of concern are the sanctity of human life, the institution of traditional marriage, and the preservation of religious liberty--including the right to follow one's convictions on moral matters in spite of societal pressures against those convictions.

I would encourage you to read the statement, and I commend those who have drafted it and made it public.

You can follow this link to read the statement and see the original signatories.
