ABOUT Faithful Security As 2006 begins, terrorists are seeking to acquire unsecured weapons and materials, several countries are expanding their arsenals, and other nations are actively seeking to join the nuclear club. With the combination of all these threats, former military officials are saying that there is a 50 percent chance of a nuclear strike on an American target within the next ten years. We are truly at a crossroads. As religious people, what is our response to these new developments? How do we work together to ensure that the U.S. and the world keep faith with God by eliminating nuclear weapons?
Several months ago, Rev. William Sloane Coffin convened a group of religious leaders from national religious organizations and denominations, regional religious bodies, and religious schools to address these questions. The group responded by establishing Faithful Security: The National Religious Partnership to End the Nuclear WeaponsDanger. The goal of Faithful Security is to work toward the permanent elimination of nuclear weapons by empowering religious communities to take action on a local level. It is our hope that this toolkit will provide you with the resources you need to learn about the nuclear weapons danger and take action to build a safer world for all of our brothers and sisters. If you need any additional information, our staff organizers can connect you with films, fact sheets, and other resources to help you speak out about the need to break faith with nuclear weapons. Obviously we can’t do this alone. It will take all of us—Jewish, Protestant, Shinto, Catholic, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist—and everyone who believes that human life is sacred.
