Life Ring

lifering1.gifLife Ring is a community-wide, pro-life awareness campaign, which encourages churches with bell towers to toll their bells on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. The tolling sequence directs churches to toll their bells beginning at noon on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. The tolling follows the funeral bell sequence of one toll every twenty seconds for eleven minutes. The rings symbolize both the aborted life and the thirty-three years of legalized abortion in the United States since 1973.

Join Geneva College Sunday, January 22, 2006, for Life Ring by encouraging your church to participate.

This voluntary event is a convenient and effective way to remember the importance of life - particularly the preborn child. Please refer to the links to the right for more information.

Legalized abortion has taken the lives of over 45 million preborn children since the 1973 Supreme Court ruling. National statistics estimate that 1,370,000 abortions are performed every year in the United States - nearly one preborn child every 20 seconds. In 2002, an estimated 35,167 abortions were performed in Pennsylvania alone.
