Life Chain 2011, Sunday 2 October

John — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 18:57:03 +0000

Life Chain is a peaceful and prayerful public witness of pro-life individuals standing for 90 minutes praying for our nation and for an end to abortion. It is a visual statement of solidarity by the Christian community that abortion kills children and that the Church supports the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception until natural death. Life Chain events take place in cities across North America.

This year’s Vancouver Life Chain will take place at the corner of Oak Street and 29th Avenue, between 1:30 and 3:00 pm, on Sunday 2 October. This is across the street from the Children’s and Women’s Health Centre of British Columbia.
