A listener asked us about The Manhattan Declaration, and if this declaration is worthwhile. The declaration was released on November 20, 2009 and there are a number of Christians who have signed the declaration. It deals with the sanctity of human life, the dignity of marriage between husband and wife, and the rights of conscience and religious liberty. It was Rev. Harry Reeder who pointed out that: "while being a call to unified Christian action in the engagement of the cultural issues of the day, this declaration does not purport to be a confessional or an ecclesiastical statement of theological unity." Participants: Dr. John Vance, Rev. Mark Diedrich, Dan Elmendorf
