Live Webcast of Release of "An Evangelical Manifesto" (Updated)

USA Today reports on the release of "An Evangelical Manifesto," scheduled for 9:30am (ET) today:

Evangelical writer Os Guinness and eight other scholars, pastors and theologians drafted the manifesto to reclaim "evangelical" because the term risks sliding into the same disfavor and misuse as "fundamentalist," which lost its moorings as a statement of core Christian beliefs and became a pejorative code word, says A. Larry Ross, spokesman for the group.

The text, which Ross says has been revised since the Associated Press saw it last week, will be made public at a news conference in Washington, D.C., and posted at evangelicalmanifesto.com. The public will be invited to join in a discussion or sign on in agreement.

It appears that you can watch a live webcast of the 9:30 am press conference here.  An accompanying media alert is here.

UPDATE: The document has been posted here.  I've pasted in the list of the steering committee below the fold. 

ANOTHER UPDATE: The list of the "charter signatories" is here.  That list includes the following names:

• Leith Anderson, National Association of Evangelicals
• Luis Cortes, Nueva Esperanza
• David Gushee, Mercer University
• Joel Hunter, A Church Distributed 
• Max Lucado, author and senior pastor of Oak Hills Church
• Mark Noll, University of Notre Dame
• Bob Roberts, North Wood Church
• Robert Seiple, Ambassador, International Religious Freedom
• Ron Sider,  Evangelicals for Social Action
• James Tonkowich, Institute on Religion & Democracy
• Jim Wallis, Sojourners
• Miroslav Volf, Yale Divinity School
• Frank Wright, National Religious Broadcasters
• John Yates, The Falls Church

I'm watching the webcast right now.  Richard Muow just said that, too often, evangelicals have seen only seen two options for cultural engagement: "give up on the culture or take it over."  He calls for a much different attitude and more careful theological reflection.  He cites the importance of working with people of all faiths and no faith to work together for the common good.  I've got to run now.  More on this later.
