B. Down Constitution Avenue The purpose of the march itself is to show the city, the federal government, the nation, and the world, the unity of the Body of Christ in the United States. It will only cover 7 blocks: from 7th Street to 14th Street along Constitution Avenue.

This has several advantages from a logistical point of view. However, our main consideration was that this would allow the aged and the handicapped to participate. Participants will assemble on a grassy area, 23 blocks long, running between the Lincoln Memorial and the U.S. Capitol. This area is known as "The Mall" and has the distinct advantage of providing a crowd this size a place to assemble and dispurse from.

The Mall runs parallel to the parade route and is immediately adjacent to it. C. The Washington Monument A gigantic outdoor prayer and worship service will be held the day of the rally. Christian leaders will take 1. MAJOR ACTIVITIES During our involvement in Washington, state leaders will meet with Congressional representatives; pastors, Christian leaders, and dedicated men and women of God will lead an outdoor prayer and worship service; and the Body of Christ will have a procession down.
