New Mexico Christian Worldview Summit: August 25: Michel Novak and Chuck Colson
Dear Friends,
The vast majority of us grew up with a Christian worldview. In Santa Fe alone, 85% grew up in a Christian home and 65% still proclaim Jesus as Lord. Back then, decency was the presumed standard and the pervasive challenge to Christian morality was just beginning.
At the time, obscenity laws were on the books and sodomy was a crime. Today sexual perversity is being sold, not only as the norm and acceptable, but also as political enhancing.
In Pennsylvania, State Representative Babette Josephs is running again Gregg Kravitz. Mr. Kravitz claims to be bisexual. Rep. Josephs is accusing Mr. Kravitz of “faking” his “sexual preference” to garner homosexual dollars and votes. The homosexual community, of course, loves the controversy. “We’ve hit a new high point when candidates are accused of pretending to be gay to win a seat.” states Mark Segal, publisher of a local homosexual newspaper.
We must correct our course.
An examination of a Christian Worldview is vital and necessary at this time.
The first annual New Mexico Christian Worldview Summit will be held August 25 in Albuquerque, NM. The event is co-chaired by Archbishop Michael Sheehan and former Congressman Bill Redmond. It will feature Catholic Theologian Michael Novak and Prison Fellowship founder Chuck Colson.
Central to the conference is the Manhattan Declaration. The Manhattan Declaration speaks in defense of the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, and religious liberty. It was written by prominent Christian clergy, ministry leaders and scholars and was released November 20, 2009 in Washington, DC.
The Declaration is a bold call to a Christian worldview. It calls all Christians to adhere firmly to their convictions.
Please mark your calendar, save the date and pray for the survival and success of a Christian worldview. Hope to see you in August.
In Christ,
Jose Vasquez
