Christian CND

Christian CND (CCND) is a 'Specialist Section' of CND, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and has existed since 1960. CCND is made up of individual Christians of various denominations who oppose nuclear weapons and who campaign for peace. The organisation has an elected executive of ten members and publishes a journal called 'Ploughshare' twice a year. It also holds online prayer meetings and the occasional pilgrimage. It attends wider CND events and other events across the peace movement. Its symbol combines the original CND sign (commonly referred to as the 'Peace' sign) with images of a cross and a dove holding an olive branch.

Christian CND is a member of the Network of Christian Peace Organisations.

NOTE. College CND also used the abbreviation CCND.
