The Manhattan Declaration: To Sign or Not To Sign?

Podcast: Download (8.9MB)

Recently, religious leaders from the three major branches of professing Christianity — Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestant Evangelical — drafted a document called The Manhattan Declaration in which signers commit to stand strong in the face of secular encroachment on three key issues: the sanctity of life, heterosexual marriage, and freedom of speech and conscience.

Sounds like something on which every Evangelical Christian should sign their name, right?  Evangelical leaders like Chuck Colson, Albert Mohler, James Dobson, and Richard Land say “yes”, while others like John MacArthur, RC Sproul, Alistair Begg, and Michael Horton say “no”.  (My position and columns by some of the above are linked here.)

So what’s the rub?  In Hour 2 of The Christian Worldview this weekend, we’ll discuss the key points of the Declaration, the issue of ecumenism on which Evangelical Christians are divided, and whether you should sign The Manhattan Declaration.
