The Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience

We encourage you to join us in signing The Manhattan Declaration.

This manifesto was issued by evangelical, Catholic and Orthodox Christian leaders to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon their fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join in defending them.

These truths are:
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 document (which is available to read
here) was drafted on October 20, 2009 and released November 20, 2009, having been signed by more than 150 American religious leaders. You can sign it too by going here.
