Manhattan Declaration
In November, 2009, a group of Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, and Evangelical Christian leaders released the Manhattan Declaration, a document reaffirming and promising to defend fundamental truths in three areas:

- the rights of conscience and religious liberty.

Millions of innocent children are being killed by abortion; several states have redefined marriage to include same-sex unions; and there are very real threats to our ability to freely practice religion and follow our consciences.
