This week on 20 Minute Takes, Nikki takes us on a history lesson to mark the 50th anniversary of the Chicago Declaration of Evangelical Social Concern. In Chicago, 50 years ago, over Thanksgiving weekend, a group of concerned Christian leaders gathered to ask how their faith should inform how they show up in the public space. The result was the drafting of a statement about Christian commitment to social justice that some view as one of the most influential documents, for the church, of the decade. It became the founding document for Christians for Social Action, and influenced many others.
