The Manhattan Declaration

Dr. George

Dr. Timothy George, the Dean of Beeson Divinity School at Samford University, spoke recently at our church.  Dr. George is always fascinating to listen to and our church has had the privilege to host him several times to speak.  Pastor Steve specifically asked him to speak this time on “The Manhattan Declaration” and how it applied to the Church universal and to individual believers.   Dr. George, along with Chuck Colson, is one of the authors of this important document. 

I had never heard of The Manhattan Declaration and was very interested to hear what Dr. George had to say.  As our moral and spiritual culture is crumbling before us, there is a desire to unite those that would stand for 3 basic truths.  The Manhattan Declaration calls on all that would agree on:  the sanctity of life and the protection of the unborn, the dignity of marriage as a union of a husband and a wife, and religious freedom for all people.   I feel strongly about all 3 of these issues and I feel that our culture attacks these truths on many levels.  

 January 22 is Sanctity of Life Sunday and marks the number years since Roe v. Wade.  So what Dr. George was speaking on was very applicable.  The institution of marriage has been attacked and ridiculed and many would say that marriage between a man and a woman is out of style and not needed.  And unless there is freedom for all religions and beliefs, then my faith is in danger of being outlawed. 

The Manhattan Declaration is not a very long document and would be worthy of your time to read.  Please consider joining the half million people that have already signed the document.  You can go online to do that.  Let’s stand for what is right and good.
