Lecture: When, If Ever, Is the Use of Military Force Morally Justifiable?

The ninth annual Kiplinger Lecture will be delivered by Dr. Paul B. Rasor, at the Cedar Lane Unitarian Universalist Church, 9601 Cedar Lane, Bethesda, Maryland, at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Novermber 21, 2009. The annual lecture series is the centerpiece of an ongoing educational program at Cedar Lane, aimed at promoting a wider consciousness and a deeper understanding of the concepts and questions of ethics and morality. The program, including the lectures, is made possible by a grant from the Kiplinger Foundation, in memory of Willard M. Kiplinger, founder of the Kiplinger newsletters and an early member of the church. “Dr. Rasor’s extensive work in peace studies, law, and theology gives him a unique perspective on the very timely issue of peacemaking,” notes Harvey Lerner, Chair of Cedar Lane’s Kiplinger Committee.

 

The lecture is open to the public; however, space is limited and early registration is encouraged. The registration fee is $10; students free. More information may be obtained at the Cedar Lane Unitarian Universalist Church web site: www.cedarlane.org, or by telephoning 301-493-8300.
