Please Sign the "Manhattan Declaration"

    I cannot urge readers of this blog site strongly enough to go to www.manhattandeclaration.org and sign the "Manhattan Declaration," a document which most major evangelical leaders have already heartily endorsed.  The home page for the document details its three main thrusts:

We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our 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.
