The Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America sent a delegation to the annual March for Life, Thursday, Jan. 22 in Washington.. The date marks the 42nd anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion.

Metropolitan Methodios led the delegation. He was joined by Metropolitan Tikhon, Bishop Michael, and Bishop Demetrios Mokissos.

Metropolitan Tikhon delivered the invocation at the annual Rose Dinner at the Renaissance hotel the evening of the 22nd.

Metropolitan Methodios also attended the National Prayer Vigil for Life at The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on Jan. 21, the evening before the march.

The rally began at noon on the National Mall at 12th Street. Orthodox Christian marchers gathered under the “Orthodox Christians for Life” banner and signs.

The march began at 1 p.m. and proceeded along Constitution Avenue to the U.S. Supreme Court, where prayers for the victims of abortion were offered.
