Greenbelt's mission is to create spaces, like festivals, where art, faith and justice collide. Music, comedy, talks, campaigning and prayer.
The festival includes the Peace Zone, run under the auspices of the Network of Christian Peace Organisations.
Christian CND will be there - supporters welcome to join us!

As part of our preparation for the PrepCom, we hold an (nearly) Annual Embassy Walk in London where we visit nuclear-weapons states embassies and those of the New Agenda Coalition and also Japan.
Join us for coffee at 10am in the Crypt Café and for prayers in the Dick Sheppard Chapel at 10.30am ready for the start of the walk at 11.am.

Christian CND will hold a Liturgy at Aldermaston. There will be a symbolic digging up of the Alleluia during this event.
Bring daffodil bulbs to plant. Starts at 12noon at West Gate, Tadley Roundabout, processing anti-clockwise around the base. All welcome.

During Lent, ‘Alleluia!’ is not said during our church liturgies. As CCND’s special contribution to the 30th Anniversary of Ash Wednesday Witness at the MoD, there will be a preliminary liturgy and procession across the Westminster Bridge, carrying a carved Alleluia plaque, candles, cross and coffin, from the Imperial War Museum to the Embankment Gardens.
At the end of this liturgy, the Alleluia Plaque will be symbolically buried, only to be resurrected at Easter.
Please dress in black or purple if you can and join us in front of the Imperial War Museum at 2pm.

On the bicentenary of his birth, come and celebrate the life and work of this remarkable Welshman: energetic Congregational minister, diligent MP, internationally recognised Apostle of Peace, foremost 19th Century advocate of a league of nations and a permanent system of international arbitration, tireless campaigner against militarism and for a reduction in armaments, champion of improved educational access for all.

Please join with local groups campaigning against AWE expansion at the planning committee meeting at which the AWE planning application will be decided upon at 5.45 pm in Reading at the Calcot Centre.
See CND website for details on how to get there.

In the last year, British armoured vehicles, tear gas and weapons have been turned on democracy protesters in the Middle East and North Africa. Despite this, the UK continues to arm these repressive regimes. The weapons are made in the UK. They are promoted and licensed by the UK government. It is up to us to stop this happening.

Professor Ruth Pearson will talk about Burmese Migrant Workers in Thailand – Suspended Between Two Worlds.
The talk is at 1pm and will last about 30 minutes followed by questions. Admission is free. You are welcome to bring a packed lunch any time from 12.15pm. A donation is invited for a hot drink and biscuits.
