The Manhattan Declaration: “Evangelical” Ecumenists Unite with Rome to Advance Rome’s Cause
It is shocking – but not surprising – that so many so-called “Evangelicals” have signed it. It is a sign of the doctrinal confusion, uncertainty and compromise of our times, and many of the signatories are men who have shown their true colours for many years, even decades. Here is a list of some of them:
The drafting committee consisted of Robert George of Princeton University, a Roman Catholic; Timothy George of Beeson Divinity School and editor of the pro-ecumenical Christianity Today; and Chuck Colson of the Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview, a leading ecumenist for decades.
At the time of writing, some of the other prominent so-called “Evangelicals” who have signed it are:
Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary;
Leith Anderson, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, USA;
Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family;
James Dobson of Focus on the Family;
J.I. Packer;
Josh McDowell, founder of Josh McDowell Ministry;
Michael L. Beresford, managing director of Church relations, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association;
Mark Bailey, president of Dallas Theological Seminary;
Robert C. Cannada, Jr., chancellor of Reformed Theological Seminary;
William Edgar, professor at Westminster Theological Seminary;
Michael Easley, president emeritus of Moody Bible Institute;
Cornelius Plantinga of Calvin Theological Seminary.
