Why Manhattan?

It's my old stomping grounds and I'm just wondering if anyone knows how they came up with that name.

Must be a common question - the FAQ page for the declaration lists that as the first question:

Why is the statement called the "Manhattan Declaration"?

The earliest draft of the statement was presented at a meeting of Eastern Orthodox, Catholic, Anglican, and Evangelical religious leaders in Manhattan in late September, 2009. The document became known as the Manhattan Declaration. In Christ,
Michael
