No to Nuclear Weapons: Christian Peace Vigil at Faslane - Saturday 2nd August, 10.30am–12 noon | HM Naval Base Clyde, South Gate (Maidstone Road)
No to Nuclear Weapons Faslane Christian Witness Aug 2025

In the week marking the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Christians from across Scotland will gather at Faslane Naval Base for an ecumenical peace vigil to witness against the continued presence and threat of nuclear weapons.

Organised by Justice & Peace Scotland, this gathering will be a time of prayer, reflection, readings, and song led by senior Church leaders:
• Most Rev. William Nolan, Archbishop of Glasgow and President of Justice & Peace Scotland
• Rt Rev. Rosie Frew, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland
• Most Rev. Mark Strange, Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church

Members of the Iona Community will also join us as together we 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.

The vigil is an opportunity for Christians to stand in faith and solidarity on the site where the UK’s weapons of mass destruction are housed and to renew our shared commitment to the common good and the flourishing of creation.

Free Transport Available
A free Lothian Buses coach will depart from:
• Edinburgh - Waterloo Place (beside Waverley Station), leaving at 7.45am
• Glasgow - Gordon Street (outside Central Station), leaving at 9.15am
To secure a seat, please email: office@justiceandpeacescotland.org.uk

All are welcome. Help us spread the word by sharing with your family, friends and networks.
