A movement of 152 Orthodox, Catholic and evangelical Christian leaders have collaborated on the newly-released Manhattan Declaration, which affirms 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 statement endorses civil disobedience under certain circumstances.
The ICCEC’s patriarch, Archbishop Craig W. Bates, is an official signer of the document released last Friday (Nov. 20) during a press conference in Washington, D.C. Other signers include Chuck Colson, Peter Kreeft, Patrick Henry Reardon, J.I. Packer, and Ravi Zacharias.
As of this report over 107,000 people have added their names to the Manhattan Declaration.
