The Manhattan Declaration

The Manhattan Declaration

I was directed by my Pastor, Todd Reed, to read a new document known as the Manhattan Declaration. It is essentially an expression of what Christians believe put together and signed by over 60 religious leaders from all backgrounds. Orthodox, Catholic, and Evangelical Christians agreed that the Church has to stand up and declare what it holds to be the truth. The Manhattan Declaration expresses the Biblical viewpoint on the sanctity of life, marrriage, and religious liberty. It is very well written and calls out many of the liberal policies our current administration is pushing on us. At the time I am writing this (5:30pm, 11/25), there are already 127,383 signers. The Declaration has only been published since the 20th. I encourage anyone who may read this to go to the Manhattan Declaration website and read and sign the document too.

A Blog Thesis

I have started this blog for the purposes of not necessarily narrating my day to day life. Indeed, I believe that would not be of any practical use to anyone. Instead, I plan to write about interesting books I may be reading, Theological issues I may be investigating, or even good music I may have discovered. While my knowledge is certainly limited, and my experience in all of the items listed above is comparitively minor, I will attempt to supply here a glimpse of what is happening in my thoughts as I seek to indulge myself in great books, theology, and black coffee.
