SCE Plenary: The Future of the Christian Ethical Traditions of Just War and Just Peacebuilding
Description: Sustained debate over the Christian ethics of violence, war, and peace has characterized the SCE since its inception. In the contemporary United States, public officials selectively invoke Christian just-war ideas and the rhetoric of “peace through strength” to justify military actions that, according to critics, clearly fail to satisfy just-war criteria or contribute to a more peaceful international order. This panel of experts will consider whether and how, under these conditions, Christian ethical traditions of just war and just peacebuilding can continue to exercise normative force in public and political life.
Panelists: Dr. Rosemary Kellison, Associate Professor of Religion, Department of Religion, Florida State University; Dr. Richard B. Miller, Laura Spelman Rockefeller, Emeritus Professor of Religion, Politics, and Ethics at the University of Chicago Divinity School and in the College; and Dr. Gerard F. Powers, Director, Catholic Peacebuilding Studies and Coordinator, Catholic Peacebuilding Network, Kroc Institute, Keough School of Global Affairs, University of Notre Dame.
Convener: Diana Fritz Cates, SCE President
