Dec. 24—More than 1,000 faith leaders in the United States, representing every major faith tradition and hailing from every state of the nation, have added their names to a call for a Christmas Truce in Ukraine. “In the spirit of the truce that occurred in 1914 during the First World War, we urge our government to take a leadership role in bringing the war in Ukraine to an end through supporting calls for a ceasefire and negotiated settlement, before the conflict results in a nuclear war that could devastate the world’s ecosystems and annihilate all of God’s creation.”
