WASHINGTON, DC – Conservative Christian leaders are releasing a declaration and warning today on what they’re calling “moral issues of great concern.”
Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries, helped draft the Manhattan Declaration, which affirms the sanctity of human life, marriage as the union of one man and one woman, religious liberty, and freedom of conscience. Where those values are threatened, the document endorses civil disobedience under some circumstances.
Organizers of today’s official release say the Manhattan Declaration sends “a clear and strong call to Christians” and “a warning to civil authorities.”
They say it’s been signed by more than 125 evangelical, Catholic, and Orthodox Christian leaders.
