CCND is made up of individual Christians of various denominations who oppose nuclear weapons and who campaign for peace.
The organisation has an elected executive of ten members, has an office in London and publishes a journal called 'Ploughshare' four times a year.
In 1981 it was expanded and reorganised on a more permanent basis with its own membership, newsletter and administration, and considerable autonomy in forming its own policies.
It organised many conferences at local and national level as well as acts of protest, liturgies and services at bases and government sites.
Its members were also involved in letter writing, lobbying and educating for peace and disarmament.
