The leaders of the main Christian denominations have written a joint letter to MPs urging them to reject the renewal of Trident nuclear weapons system - branding such a move 'immoral'.

Ahead of Wednesday's vote in the UK parliament on the government's plan to replace the Trident nuclear weapons system, the World Council of Churches (WCC) general secretary Rev. Dr Samuel Kobia has written to WCC member churches in the country praising and expressing support for their efforts to stop this.
