Ash Wednesday Service In Edinburgh
|
As a sign of repentance for Britain’s reliance on weapons of mass destruction, model Trident submarines were burnt on 5th March at the Adomnan affinity group Ash Wednesday service in Parliament Square, Edinburgh.
This is a service of repentance for our reliance on Trident and weapons of mass destruction, and our misuse of God’s creation.
At this time the people of the Middle East are facing the threat of war; on this day the Pope has called us to pray for peace; religious leaders and the people are calling for a commitment to finding the ways of peace. This is our public response. In this service people will be invited to be marked with ashes from the burning of a model Trident.
The service is arranged by the Adomnan Affinity Group of Trident Ploughshares along with the Clergy Action Group, and we invite you and friends to join us.
