  Cambridge Declaration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cambridge Declaration is a statement of faith written in 1996 by the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, a group of Reformed and Lutheran Evangelicals who were concerned with the state of the Evangelical movement in America, and throughout the world.
The choice of location was deliberate, since Cambridge was the seat of Harvard and thus the center of ecclesiastical and intellectual life in 17th century America.
Cambridge was also the location of The Cambridge Platform, a declaration of church polity made in 1648 by New England Puritans.

 Declaration of Faith
I declare that it is a form of idolatry to bestow on Mary honor, title, or attributes which in effect give her any status in the redemptive work of her Son or elevate her as a special object of veneration.
I declare that for the proper functioning of the church, and in order to relieve the pastor of an abundance of temporal duties and allow him to focus on the ministry of the word of God, the Spirit led the apostles to institute the office of "ministry," whose officers are commonly called deacons.
I declare that all that is employed in worship should be subject to the approval of the senior pastor for its biblical and theological content and for its appropriateness to the church and the occasion.

 §13. "The Declaration of Independence". VIII. American Political Writing, 1760–1789. Vol. 15. Colonial and ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The conduct of the king, the ministry, and the Parliament, the history and necessities of the colonies, and the constitutional foundations of empire had all been repeatedly and ably examined by lawyers and publicists, and the findings set forth by accomplished writers, long before Jefferson was called upon to say the final word.
Of all the criticisms that have been passed upon the Declaration of Independence, the least to the point is that it is not original.
What was required now was a concise summing up of the whole matter, full enough to give a clear impression of completeness, vigorous and bold enough to serve as a national manifesto, and polished, dignified, and incisive enough to catch the ear, to linger in the memory, and to bear endless repetition.

 Peace Corps Online | December 8, 2001 - Boston Reaseach Center: Ethiopia RPCV Betty Burkes speaks at Cambridge Forum on ...
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Cambridge Forum, the Coalition for a Strong United Nations, and the Boston Research Center for the 21st Century collaborated to produce a dialogue on this powerful vision for change.
Northeast regional director of Amnesty International Joshua Rubenstein suggested that the Universal Declaration was one of the founding documents of the United Nations because "the victors in the war were determined to set a new standard for how governments should behave--and perhaps should be made to behave--for their own citizens.
The Universal Declaration was meant to be an expression of hope that the post-war years would witness a renaissance of respect toward individuals." However, he admitted, "the United Nations failed to establish any meaningful machinery that would either monitor the abuse of human rights, enforce human rights standards, or bring government leaders to justice."
