The World Council of Churches, the Conference of European Churches, the Canadian Council of Churches, and the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA have sent a letter to U.S. President Barack Obama, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, and NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen. These ecumenical organizations represent over 400—some very influential—Christian churches. And among other things, it appears that they want a reassessment of U.S. tactical nuclear weapon (TNW) deployments.
