Manhattan Declaration

by Pastor on November 23, 2009

The Manhattan DeclarationIt was recently announced that 140 Christian leaders signed the Manhattan Declaration reaffirming fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are:

  1. the sanctity of human life
  2. the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife
  3. the rights of conscience and religious liberty.

The document was crafted by Chuck Colson, Robert George and Timothy George. Two of these men will be interviewed by James Dobson on his radio program, Focus on the Family, on Monday, 11/23 (you can also listen here). Some of the original signers include:

Al Mohler
Bryan Chapel
Tim Keller
Ravi Zacharias
Chuck Colson
James Dobson
Joel Belz
Marvin Olasky
J.I. Packer
Cornelius Plantinga
Kay Arthur
Joni Eareckson Tada
Dennis Rainey

The document is worth the read and I am glad to add my name to the list.

let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.Galatians 6:9–10
