For those of you following current theological urrents, last week the
Manhattan Declaration was announced along with a great deal of well known signatories. Included amongst them are people as diverse as Al Mohler and Peter Kreeft. In short, it deals with:
- the sanctity of human life
- the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife
- the rights of conscience and religious liberty.
In today's culture, these are the very things that have come under attack (broadly speaking). So before I delve into what things are covered, I'd like your opinion: What did you think? Would you sign it? Why or Why Not?
To get your thinking going, here is a link from
APPRAISING. It has a few questions about the contenet of the declaration.
And a link to
Al Mohler's reasons for signing the Declaration.
I don't know. I haven't read it. It sounds good on the outset, but so many people seem to have a problem with it. I don't know if those things are relevant or not. I probably wouldn't sign it because I'm too lazy to read it lol.
