It is easy to say no to war, but how do we say yes to security? Daryl Byler of Mennonite Central Committee will be speaking at First Mennonite this Saturday on this issue. |
Since 9/11, the U.S. has fought wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and increased
its military budget by more than 50 percent. But is this making us safer?
Anabaptist and some other Christians say no to war. But what do we say yes
to? How do pacifist Christians propose to address the issue of terrorism
and other threats to national and global security? What practices and
policies do we believe will lead to a more secure world?
Daryl Byler of Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) in Washington DC will be at
First Mennonite on Saturday Nov 19th at 7:00pm, and will be speaking to and
discussing these issues.
He is the director of MCC and has traveled frequently to Iraq, Iran, Syria,
Lebanon and Israel-Palestine, and writes about US policy that affects the
Middle East. |
