Blessing Weapons?

Blessing weapons?
For pacifists: no go
For atheists: religion lacking credibility
For believers: a dilemma
For state churches: inevitable
For free churches: not needed.

How do churches behave in war?
According to Protestant ethics
we should not bless weapons,
but support
decision makers in politics,
military and business
in our intercessions
that they may serve peace
by listening to God’s wisdom.
