Campaign Life Coalition brought LIFE CHAIN
into Canada from the U.S. many years ago, igniting a powerful peaceful street
witness campaign that has endured the test of years, saved lives and changed
hearts. Active participants of the Life
Chain believe that "the abortion battle is first and foremost a spiritual
one and that the solution rests chiefly with the Church". Furthermore, they believe that they have the
power necessary to "end the killing," but until recently had yet to
find the will to do so. This power, and the overall victory over abortion, lies
in church ministers and pastors, the nation's "most vital leaders."
During the Life Chain hour, idle chatter,
frivolity, and both verbal and physical responses to motorists are strongly
discouraged. LIFE CHAIN is a time for prayerful self-analysis, repentance, and
serious commitment to helping end abortion in our nation.
LIFE CHAIN is not chiefly a demonstration,
and its witness is not intended for the viewing public only. Instead, its first
goal is to minister to its own participants—to those who call Christ their Lord
and hold pro-life messages that declare abortion a grave evil that defames the
name and holiness of God (Leviticus 18:21). Indeed, society seems to have
drifted into cold indifference toward the sacredness of human life – young and
old; the result has been the mindless surgical killing and mutilation of over
45 million pre-born babies, plus the untold millions who have fallen victim to
abortive chemicals and medical neglect.
"Truly
children are a gift from the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward"
(Psalm 127:3)… "I have come that
they may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10).
