Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience

From day one, Christianity has been under attack. Jesus told the disciples directly of the persecution and hardship they would face.

In our time, we are witnessing some troubling developments in our country's direction and laws that further erode the religious rights and freedom of Christians.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" - Edmund Burke

Thank God there are still some good Christian men and women out there.

From the Manhattan Declaration website:
"Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their faith, have defended the weak and vulnerable and worked tirelessly to protect and strengthen vital institutions of civil society, beginning with the family. It was in this tradition that a group of prominent Christian clergy, ministry leaders, and scholars released the Manhattan Declaration on November 20, 2009 at a press conference in Washington, DC. The 4,700-word declaration speaks in defense of the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, and religious liberty. It issues a clarion call to Christians to adhere firmly to their convictions in these three areas."
