At least a few dozen Orthodox Christians participated in this year’s March for Life in London.
The Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia’s Diocese of Great Britain and Western Europe reports:
Continuing a tradition of many years, clergy and faithful of the Diocesan Region of the British Isles took part in the annual “March for Life” in London. The annual event, which seeks to draw attention to the sanctity of all life as created by God, draws people from all across Great Britain for a peaceful march through the capital in honour of God’s creation.
Orthodox participation was coordinated by Fr. Mark Tattum-Smith of the Church and College of the Theotokos “Joy of All Who Sorrow” in Mettingham, Suffolk. Father began the day with a molieben, then led the faithful Orthodox throughout the pro-life march.
March for Life UK began in Birmingham in 2012 with about 70 people. It steadily grew year after year, and in 2018, the march was moved to London. Thousands now participate in the movement every year.
