🎬Highlights from Faslane Peace Vigil

🎬Highlights from Faslane Peace Vigil

It’s been a couple of weeks since over 140 Christians from across traditions gathered outside Faslane Naval Base to mark the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with prayer, reflection and song while calling for a world without nuclear weapons.

We are still delighted by the remarkable attendance, the sense of Christian unity and the national media coverage the vigil received.

If you weren’t able to be there on the day or if you’d like to revisit our powerful public witness for peace, we’re delighted to share this short highlight video capturing the events of the day.

🕊️ May it continue to inspire us all to be a channel of God's peace by advocating for a world where security is built not on the threat of nuclear destruction but on the common good, respect for human dignity, and fraternity amongst nations.
