The Canberra Declaration is an Australian Christian manifesto released on July 23, 2010. It was modelled on the Manhattan Declaration and the Westminster Declaration. [1]
The Canberra Declaration addresses four main issues: religious concerns, democratic freedoms, family values and the sanctity of human life.
It counts over 92,000 signatures as of April 19, 2024. [1]
In February 2018, the Canberra Declaration established The Daily Declaration, a Christian news and commentary site.[2]
