Today is both the feast of the Transfiguration and the anniversary of the dropping of the atom bomb on Hiroshima. The former showed Jesus to the disciples in a new light and gave them a foretaste of a different future. Did the latter show us humanity in a new light?
Did it so shocked us, that it led to eventually to The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons? If I’m being optimistic, then yes and to date it has prevented the use of such weapons in anger. If I’m being pessimistic, then a yes but whilst it may have curbed a nuclear war it has not curbed the continued production and holding of such weapons.
Is there still time to envisage a different and better future?
