12/17 Bohm Dialogue — What is War For?

What a cruel thing war is… to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors. – Robert E. Lee

Is war sometimes necessary? Is it ever ‘good’?

There is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of others. – Niccolo Machiavelli

There was never a good war, or a bad peace. – Benjamin Franklin

What are the roots of war? Who does it benefit? Was there a time without wars?

Join us to listen to what others think and to share what you think.  The Religious Exploration Salon is a group that meets 3rd Sundays to discuss various topics in the format called Bohm Dialogue which emphasizes respectful listening and balanced, synergistic sharing. For more details about how Dialogue works, please see this intro.

Everyone is welcome. You are welcome to think about the topic beforehand but no preparation is required or expected — come as you are with whatever thoughts/intuitions you have, ready to listen, learn and contribute.  We next meet Sunday December 17th at 7pm in the Brackett Room.

Contact Paul Reising, Tom Yelton or Jan Hardenbergh for more information.
