NOTICE BOARD

Join the Million Faces petition at http://www.controlarms.org/million_faces

There are 639 million small arms and light weapons in the world today and eight million more are produced every year. The spread of weapons around the world is fuelling conflict, keeping people in poverty, and denying them their rights.

Oxfam, Amnesty International and the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) have launched an international campaign for tough new arms controls. They are calling for a global arms trade treaty, based on international law, to end the abuse and misery caused by arms falling into the wrong hands.

I support this campaign, and I am already one in a million. Please join me. Add your face to the online Million Faces petition too to show your outrage, and to call for tough arms controls. NOW. http://controlarms.org/woa

"As the only Anglican bishop to have publicly endorsed the Australian government's case for war, I now concede that Iraq did not possess weapons of mass destruction.... There is no alternative to concluding that the March 2003 invasion was neither just nor necessary.... I continue to seek God's forgiveness for my complicity in creating a world in which this sort of action was ever considered by anyone to be necessary."


- Dr. Tom Frame, Anglican Bishop to the Australian Defence Force.
