Caption: NUCLEAR PROTEST: United Methodist leaders and other faith representatives, including Catholic activist and actor Martin Sheen (2nd from left), used the backdrop of the Nevada Test Site to dramatize their appeal for Congress to eliminate federal funding for nuclear warhead replacements in the fiscal 2008 budget. Neal Christie (left), an executive with the UMC's social action agency, said it is "the height of hypocrisy" for the U.S. to plan to replace aging warheads "as President Bush twists the arms of Iran and North Korea to halt development" of nuclear weapons. Christie spoke during the Lenten Desert Experience, a 25-year-old protest tradition begun by Franciscans; it was attended on Palm Sunday by hundreds, including Hi'ilani Waiwaiole (2nd from right) and JoAnn Fukumoto.
