“Our world is a really damaged place in the meanwhile, a lot pointless loss of life and destruction.
“My hope and prayer is to stay in a world with out conflict or the specter of conflict, a world with out the specter of the deployment of nuclear weapons.
“On the eightieth anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it appears proper to face with different Christians saying ‘No’ to nuclear weapons and ‘Sure’ to peace.
“I might encourage church members to come back alongside, be a part of within the vigil, and ship a message to our legislators as a result of there must be a greater method.
“I do know opinion could be very divided on holding nuclear weapons however I do not consider anybody would ever want them to be deployed, each those that will collect outdoors and people who serve in HM Naval Base Clyde.”
