Religious Leaders Sign "Manhattan Declaration"

Some 125 U.S. religious leaders -- Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant -- signed a declaration in New York City recently that addresses the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, and religious liberty.

Known as the "Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience," the statement urges Christians to adhere to their convictions, and informs civil authorities that the signers will not "under any circumstances" abandon their Christian consciences. The text of the declaration was released on November 20, 2009.

For more information on this declaration, log onto the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) website.
