The speaker is Mr. Chuck Colson, one of the primary authors of the Manhattan Declaration.
What is the Manhattan Declaration? On Nov. 20, 2009 a group of prominent Catholic, Orthodox and Evangelical clergy, ministry leaders and scholars released the Manhattan Declaration, addressing the sanctity of life, traditional marriage and religious liberty. Among the signatories were a number of Catholic bishops, including Archbishop Dolan of New York and Archbishop Wuerl of Washington, D.C.

Mr. Colson was imprisoned for Watergate related offenses; after coming to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, he entered a guilty plea for obstruction of justice and served time in Alabama’s Maxwell Prison in 1974. Before his conversion, Colson was aide to President Richard Nixon and was known during that time as the White House “hatchet man,” feared by even the most powerful politicos during the Nixon presidency.
