''Evangelicals and Catholics Together'' is a 1994 ecumenical document signed by leading Evangelical and Roman Catholic scholars in the United States. The co-signers of the document were Charles Colson and Richard John Neuhaus, representing each side of the discussions.〔.〕 It was part of a larger ecumenical rapprochement in the United States that had begun in the 1970s with Catholic-Evangelical collaboration during the Gerald R. Ford Administration and in later para-church organizations such as Moral Majority founded by Rev. Jerry Falwell at the urging of Francis Schaeffer and his son Frank Schaeffer during the Jimmy Carter administration.〔Republican Gomorrah: Inside the Movement That Shattered The Party. "Creating A Monster". pp.24-27, ISBN 978-1-56858-398-3〕 The statement is written as a testimony that spells out the need for Protestants and Catholics to deliver a common witness to the modern world at the eve of the third millennium.〔.〕 It draws heavily from the theology of the New Testament and the Trinitarian doctrine of the Nicean creed. It does not mention any specific points of theology, and instead seeks to encourage what is known as spiritual ecumenism and day-to-day ecumenism. The document was signed at a time when Protestants and Catholics were still fighting each other in Northern Ireland, long after the ecumenical movement had begun.〔.〕 ==Evangelical signatories〔.〕== * Charles Colson, Prison Fellowship and Southern Baptist Convention affiliated * Dr. Kent Hill Eastern Nazarene College * Dr. Richard Land, Christian Life Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention * Dr. Larry Lewis, Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention * Dr. Jesse Mirand, Assemblies of God * Mr. Brian O'Connell, World Evangelical Fellowship〔http://watch.pair.com/toc-wef.html ''The Transformation of the Church''〕 * Mr. Herbert Schlossberg, Director of the Fieldstead Foundation and co-author of ''Turning Point: A Christian Worldview Declaration with Marvin Olasky〔Republican Gomorrah: Inside the Movement That Shattered The Party.
