WASHINGTON (AP) — Leading evangelicals are planning a two-day conference in connection with the upcoming March for Life in Washington.

The Evangelicals for Life conference on Jan. 21 and 22, the day of this year's anti-abortion march, will be co-sponsored by Focus on the Family and the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.

The ERLC's president, the Rev. Russell Moore, says the annual march attracts thousands of Catholics from all over the country, but far fewer evangelicals. Moore says, I don't want any less "Ave Maria" but I want a lot more "Amazing Grace."

Focus on the Family President Jim Daly says the march and conference will join evangelicals with Catholics in a united "voice for life."

Sound: Upcoming
