Quakers in Britain have signed up to a statement issued by twenty-six faith leaders across the UK calling for new initiatives to eliminate nuclear weapons.

Senior representatives from eight faiths, including Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists, say that nuclear weapons ‘violate the principle of dignity for every human being that is common to each of our faith traditions.’
