On Saturday 2nd August at Faslane, Scottish Church leaders will gather for a Christian peace vigil in opposition to nuclear weapons. This ecumenical service of prayer, reflection, readings, and hymns is organised by Justice & Peace Scotland and will take place from 10.30am to 12 noon at the South Gate of HM Naval Base Clyde.
The vigil will be led by Archbishop Nolan, Right Rev Rosie Frew, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, and Most Rev Mark Strange, Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church.
This year’s vigil will mark 80 years since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. To make it easier for people to attend, free transport is being provided by Justice & Peace Scotland and the Church of Scotland.

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.
If you've never come along to a peace vigil before, why not make this your first one?
