The Manhattan Declaration

I had the chance to speak with Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship, host of the radio program Breakpoint and founder of The Colson Center for Christian Worldview, on The Morning Show. Recently, he and a number of Christian leaders developed what is called The Manhattan Declaration. The Declaration was born out growing concern regarding the efforts to marginalize the Christian voice in the public square, to redefine marriage and to move away from the biblical view of the sanctity of life.
