Nuclear Weapons: The Other Extinction Rebellion - Christian CND Conference
Event Information
About this Event
Christian CND is gathering at Brentwood Cathedral for our Conference and AGM in 2019. We will be hearing about the latest developments in campaigns, as well as having workshops, prayers and plenty of time to get to know each other and share ideas.
Nuclear wepaons and climate change represent the two existential threats our planet currently faces. The time has come to make progress on both issues to secure a better future for the next generation.
Speakers for the Conference include:
Theresa Alessandro the Director of Pax Christi will talk about her role as well as developments within the Catholic Church on the issues around nuclear weapons.
Steve Hucklesby from the Joint Public Issues Team will talk about a new report on the financing of nuclear weapons, which UK based faith groups will publish in the autumn.
Workshops include:
Don’t Bank on the Bomb – sharing ideas for campaigning to encourage banks and institutions to stop financing nuclear weapons.
Christian CND 60 – find out how you can get involved in our 60th birthday plans for 2020
Conflict and Climate Change – discussion around the impact of military activity, including nuclear weapons, on the climate. Includes a short documentary.
