A Call to Conscience

Here is a story that I haven't seen covered in the so-called mainstream media. Evangelical, Catholic, and Orthodox Christian leaders have come together to draw a line in the sand in the culture wars by signing the Manhattan Declaration. www.manhattandeclaration.org/

Chuck Colson explains the purpose of it thusly:

"The Declaration begins by reminding readers that for 2,000 years, Christians have borne witness to the truths of their faith. This witness has taken various forms—proclamation, seeking justice, resisting tyranny, and reaching out to the poor, oppressed, and suffering.

Having reminded readers about why and how Christians have spoken out in the past, the Declaration then turns to what especially troubles us today—the threats to the sanctity of human life, the institution of marriage, and religious freedom."

Christians have had it so easy in this country for so long that, like the proverbial frog who doesn't recognize that the temperature of the pot in which he sits is rising, many are totally unaware of the growing threats to religious freedom and social institutions that will change the U.S. into a country that we do not know.
