The Canberra Declaration celebrates 4th anniversary, launches 'double our numbers' campaign

The campaign, which has been labelled 'a new step of faith', aims to collect 100,000 signees by this time next year, doubling the current number of signatures gathered.

"Over the last four years we've achieved a lot," Warwick Marsh from the Australian Christian Values Institute reflected. "We've seen marriage kept between a man and a woman; we've seen some advances for life; we've seen children protected."

"Sometimes we lost battles, sometimes we won battles...I believe the society is turning around," he said.

The Canberra Declaration, which was launched in Australian Parliament on July 23, 2010 at a 'God and Government Conference', aims to encourage and educate people to pray and make a stand for Christian values in society.

It was drafted by a group of Christians across various denominations and ministries, and calls on the nation's leaders to secure religious freedom, uphold the definition of marriage and protect human life.
