DriveThru – Get What You Need

This bold stand on life, marriage and liberty continues to attract signatures. Here is the website. I encourage you to take a look at it.

And here’s Jim Daly, our president and CEO discussing the document and his reasons for participating as an original signer. Here’s a taste:

I think for many reasons it’s resonating with a lot of people around the country – Eastern Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant believers and even non-believers. We’ve heard from some people that would oppose us on the idea of God, but at the same time they agree with the principles of religious freedom. And I think that is attracting a lot of signers from a lot of different faiths and people of no faith – because they see the importance of religious freedom.

 Life, marriage, and religious liberty are key areas of agreement which bind and unify many Americans across a wide spectrum of beliefs and personal political preferences. 

Get the word out about the Manhattan Declaration. It will make people sit up and take notice when it gets to a million signers, don’t you think?

The Manhattan Declaration is bold.  The authors and signers unapologetically defend the sanctity of life and marriage from a biblical and social perspective.  The document also outlines the cultural challenges to the freedom of religion and rights of conscience.

The critics will probably try to spin the Declaration as mean-spirited or short-sighted in view of our ever-changing culture, or something similar, but the respectful and compassionate language used will make it difficult to make the mean-spirited label stick. 

The Declaration is a compassionate voice of advocacy for all humans—especially for the most vulnerable including the aged, disabled and young.   Ultimately, the Declaration and signers seek to defend the defenseless, and this contrasts starkly with the goal of those who want to end life and redefine marriage for their own purposes.
