Bishop Heinrich Bedford-Strohm of the Evangelical Church in Germany and Bishop Tor Berger Jorgensen of the Church of Norway participate in a torchlight march for peace in Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9, 2015, the 70th anniversary of the day the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city. The procession began with a mass at the Urakami Cathedral--which was destroyed by the bombing and rebuilt years later--and included Bedford-Strohm and Berger Jorgensen and other members of an ecumenical group of pilgrims from the World Council of Churches who each came to Japan to see for themselves the results of the bombings 70 years ago, to listen to survivors and local church leaders, and to recommit themselves to new forms of advocacy for a world free of nuclear weapons
