The Manhattan Declaration

Thoughts? It seems to be building support...

I don't know how useful it will be in the culture war taking place, but many of our heirarchs, including our Met. Jonah, have signed it, so I added my name to the list.

I'm of two minds. On the one hand, it's a declaration: so what? On the other, there's a lot in there that we should believe.

You may find some of the dialog you are looking for here.

It is just a declaration, but I think it's getting so much media attention that it might help "send a message" to those who ought to hear it.

what it says is basic and True. What sort of impact it will make on modern America(or govt) only God knows, we pray for the best. Worth signing i think, because it is growing by the minutes..(refresh your browser every few seconds and its adding up)
-With God all things are possible!!

I signed it. If Met. Jonah signs it, that's good enough for me.

Seems strange that +Jonah signed it, but none of the other OCA bishops. +Basil of Witchita looks like the only other Orthodox bishop (Antiochian). None from GOARCH.

I think many may not even know about it. Met Jonah seems to be more technically savvy than many...

I hope that's the main reason, anyway.

I signed it. I don't know if it will do anything but I signed it nonetheless.

Could be. When it was brought up at our assembly meeting a few weeks back, my priest was unaware of it. We're part of the GOARCH. So, I sent him the info. He's tech savvy, meaning, he keeps up with news on the web and his email, but he wasn't aware of that. Must've not gotten around to GOARCH at that time and now. Don't know.

I think it's a good idea. I think it could help with us Orthodox coming out from under the radar. of course, anything like this where politics is involved could get messy, so we just gotta keep praying and we'll see what happens.
