Throughout church history, Christian cultural engagement in the public sphere has included the drafting of statements or position papers on certain social or cultural issues. Such papers help bring clarity to complicated cultural issues by making certain affirmations and denials. 

Recently, a group of Orthodox, Catholic, and Evangelical Christians have joined hands on some of the crucial cultural issues of our day. These collaborative efforts have produced a document called the Manhattan Declaration. If you're at all interested in these issues, please take the time to read this important document. Whether you agree with the document or disagree, like some sections and not others, it is worthy of your attention and consideration.
