I just joined over 11,000 others (and growing) in signing The Manhattan Declaration, a statement released yesterday by Christians of all traditions joining together to take a stand on three core truths:
- the sanctity of human life
- the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife
- the rights of conscience and religious liberty.
The declaration goes on to say:
Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
I encourage you to read and, if you agree, sign this important statement of truths then join the battle to defend them as well.
