Ecumenical organisations voice concern over arms trade during 3rd Ecumenical conference
>> Read more
The production and trade of military equipment is of profound concern for the churches. The Gothenburg process is an ecumenical initiative gathering churches and church-related organisations around the issue of the arms trade. The process takes its point of departure in the ethical dimension of the production, trade and proliferation of military equipment.

Within the Gothenburg process, churches and church related organisations are working together ecumenically, with the aim to raise the understanding and the knowledge of the ethical challenges posed by the arms trade. The process also encourages an inclusive and constructive dialogue with the defence industry, with control authorities and armed forces.

Yours sincerely,

K G Hammar

Chairperson, Steering Committee of the Gothenburg Process
