The Manhattan Declaration

There is a great declaration related to the sanctity of Life, Marriage and religious liberty which has recently been published.  it is called the Manhattan Declaration and you can read it here.  I signed on tonight and encourage you to read this well thought out piece.

Here is an excerpt:

"While the whole scope of Christian moral concern, including a special concern for the poor and vulnerable, claims our attention, we are especially troubled that in our nation today the lives of the unborn, the disabled, and the elderly are severely threatened; that the institution of marriage, already buffeted by promiscuity, infidelity and divorce, is in jeopardy of being redefined to accommodate fashionable ideologies; that freedom of religion and the rights of conscience are gravely jeopardized by those who would use the instruments of coercion to compel persons of faith to compromise their deepest convictions." 

Doug Stringer and relational equity

"The seed is always sown for the a future harvest...and the degree of return you get is based on the level of investment you make..."  This sounds like an economics lecture, but in truth I just returned from a wonderful gospel presentation by Doug Stringer, President of Turning Point Ministries, at Western Washington University's Faculty Forum.
