On November 20, 2009, a group of Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant clergy, academics, and organizational leaders recently signed and released a remarkable document of collective Christian conscience and commitment called the Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience (visit http://www.manhattandeclaration.org/).
The Declaration makes one significant point -- as Christian Americans we believe each person's life is a gift of infinite worth, and that we have an urgent, ongoing responsibility to continue standing for biblical principles in the public square.
The Declaration is not a partisan or political statement. It addresses and elevates four specific areas of universal consensus or "threshold issues." These are:
(1) The sanctity of human life.
(2) The sanctity of marriage.
(3) The protection of religious liberty.
(4) The rejection of unjust laws.
The content of the Declaration is very powerful. I suggest that you download and read it at the link provided above. If you are so moved, you are encouraged to sign your support of the document.
