About the Walk On Saturday, November 15, 2014, Orthodox Christians from around the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area will converge on the National Mall for the second annual Monumental Missions Walk. Sponsored by the Metropolitan DC Orthodox Christian Mission and Outreach Committee, the Monumental Missions Walk is a 3-mile long, spiritual journey, past some of the Nation’s most important landmarks. At each designated monument along the route all participants will learn about the historical significance of the landmarks as well the role that Christian faith has played in the shaping and making of this great country. The Monumental Missions Walk will afford participants the unique opportunity to pause and admire these important places of reflection through the unique lens of our Christian faith. Our Goal In addition, to providing participants with this unique opportunity to explore America’s treasured landmarks, the goal of the Monumental Missions Walk is to raise money for local and international charities. Of the proceeds raised by the Monumental Missions Walk, half will go to support the Orthodox Christians Mission Center’s (OCMC) efforts to support Orthodox Christian Missionary work around the globe while the other half will be donated to local D.C. charities. The success of this year’s Monumental Missions Walk will depend on the kindness and fellowship of Orthodox Christians in the Washington, D.C. area, please join us for a memorable journey.
