Anglicans and Trident in a new world order

I thought some readers would be interested in some of a letter recently sent to Rowan Williams to encourage him to use his influence against the renewal of Trident by the UK. I have removed details that might indicate the identity of the writer since I don't yet know how public they wish to be about it.

Dear Rowan,
... it may be helpful if I shared some thoughts with you before the GS debate on nuclear weapons.
... the report The Church and the Bomb, ... all that has changed since then is that the Cold War - the main justification then for the status quo - is over.
The report concluded with no dissenting voice (although only two of its members were pacifists) that the posession and use of nuclear weapons could not be squared with any reasonable interpretation of the just war doctrine.

The Synod did not pass a 'unilateralist' resolution but one put forward by Hugh Montefiore that in the immediate Cold War situation the only right way forward was to negotiate the reduction and elimination of Britain's nuclear weapons. The US Catholic Bishops' Conference and Pope John Paul said the same even more forthrightly, giving the Cold War balance of power as a reason for this interim ethic.

Now, in the absence of the Cold War and with no immediate balance of terror, the need to negotiate away the UK's weapons (to which we are committed by the Non Proliferation Treaty) is all the more urgent. That is wholly incompatible with a scheme that would prolong Britain's nuclear weapons capacity into an indefinite future - and commit major economic resources to that scheme. Ethically that makes the Trident replacement plan wholly unacceptable. Simply to call for more debate is not adequate. Politically it is untenable to pursue this plan and to consider punitive measures against other states wishing to do what we are doing. ...

I think the timely GS debate gives you the opportunity to be simple, profound and prophetic
all in one. That would carry an ecumenical consensus and have no inner Anglican repercussions. You would be clearly stating what you are known to believe anyway. The whole Synod might or might not go all the way with you. Hopefully it would. It would be a refreshing engagement with a world which is bemused by our internal disputes.

I hope this might be of some help even if it is - I believe - ethically saying the obvious.
