Faslane Christian Peace Witness Vigil:
Saturday 1st August from 11am to 12:30pm.
Join Justice and Peace Scotland in August at Faslane Naval Base for our annual Christian Peace Witness Vigil as we pray and advocate for a world without nuclear weapons.
Organised by J&PS, the gathering – this year at the North Gate - will be a time of prayer, reflection, readings, and song led by senior Church leaders from across Scotland.
Members of the Iona Community and the Quakers will also join us to call for nuclear disarmament and peace.
As Christians, we are called to be peacemakers and to uphold the dignity of every human life.
Nuclear weapons are fundamentally incompatible with this call as their existence threatens indiscriminate destruction and a future built on fear and power-wielding rather than on fraternity amongst nations.
A free bus service will be provided for the day, with pick-ups in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
For details and to reserve places, please email office@justiceandpeacescotland.org.uk.
