Thought for the Week: The Cross

Alastair McIntosh shares his address at Faslane on Saturday 12 April

Good Friday draws nigh, and again we stand outside this nuclear submarine base at Faslane, gathered in this act of public worship, this ‘Witness for Peace’ of Scottish Christians Against Nuclear Arms.

We stand – including the Catholic archbishop, a Church of Scotland convenor and me, a Quaker – on this podium drawn from the folds of many different denominations represented here today, the underlying undivided Christian church that prays: ‘Thy kingdom come’.
