The Mid-Hudson chapter of the Episcopal Peace Fellowship is sponsoring
The Prince of Peace:
a Discussion on Just War and Pacifism
President Obama recently used the theological term – a “Just War” – in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech regarding his decision to send more troops into Afghanistan. Our program will attempt to answer the following questions:
- When, if ever, is the use of military force morally justifiable?
- How do people of faith respond to this question in light of theological principles, tradition and the world situation today?
Join us on Sunday, February 28th
at St. John’s Episcopal Church
207 Albany Avenue, Kingston, NY
from 3 to 5 pm
Our speakers are:
The Rev. Dr. Bruce Chilton
Professor of Religion at Bard College; Executive Director of the Institute of Advanced Theology and noted author
