THINKING MORALLY ABOUT WAR

Monday, 03 Mar 2003 at 7:30 pm – Sun Room, Memorial Union

After a short explanation of the just war theory and other ethical perspectives on war by John Donaghy, participants will have an opportunity to discuss the moral issues involved in small-group settings. The event is designed to help participants clarify their own moral response to war. The hour-long program will include opportunities for participants to dialogue with others who may hold opposing views, and will be facilitated by John Donaghy, Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies and Director of Campus Ministry, St. Thomas Aquinas Church & Catholic Student Center. Sponsored by the Religious Leaders Association.

Stay for the entire event, including the brief question-and-answer session that follows the formal presentation. Most events run 75 minutes.

Sign-ins are after the event concludes. For lectures in the Memorial Union, go to the information desk in the Main Lounge. In other academic buildings, look for signage outside the auditorium.
