Christian Nonviolence and the Response to Just War Theory

Due to Holiday scheduling conflicts, we will not be meeting on Wed., Jan. 3rd.

We will meet at 8 pm on Feb. 7 at the downtown House of Aromas (118 S Clinton, near Washington) to discuss the following selections on the questions raised by Nationalism and war. Specifically we will be looking at the applied ethics of justice, peace and force within the context of international conflict.
