The Manhattan Declaration is a 4,732-word statement signed by a movement of Orthodox, Catholic and evangelical Christian leaders who are collaborating around moral issues of great concern. Its 125+ signers affirm the sanctity of human life, marriage as defined by the union of one man and one woman, and religious liberty and freedom of conscience. The Manhattan Declaration endorses civil disobedience under certain circumstances. The Manhattan Declaration will be publicly released at a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington on Friday, Nov. 20, 2009.

A truely powerful event as evidenced by the lack of coverage or notice in the MSM.

It’s excellent. There are several thousand signers by now, btw. Anybody who agrees with it can sign it.

I see this as a sort of secular affirmation of faith (if the two aren't contradictory). If we are to incorporate our values into our daily lives, and those values are increasingly at odds with the society around us, then we must either acquiesce to society's dictates or challenge the validity of our environment.

It has come to the point where our hand is being forced, and we can celebrate the opportunity to stand our ground despite the dangers.

Great! It did let me through to sign it.

In some instances where typing in certain letters is required, I can’t get through, but I was able to here.
