Signed initially by 125 evangelical, Catholic, and Orthodox leaders, the Manhattan Declaration calls Christians to adhere to three primary convictions, even if this requires civil disobedience. Charles Colson, who helped draft the declaration, said the statement brings Christian leaders together on the issues of abortion, marriage, and religious freedom in the face of growing pressure.
"There are three issues that are foundational to a Christian perspective and society," Colson told Christianity Today. "It was important for us to ground all of our moral concerns in the three foundational truths."
Christian leaders realized they needed to come together
and reaffirm their positions as a group, Princeton University professor
Robert George said.
