Proper 29 – an open letter to preachers

November 9, 2010 by David LaMotte, Consultant for Peace

In light of data recently released in the Wikileaks documents regarding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a group of pastors, priests, theologians and seminarians has issued a call to preachers to address the acts of violence detailed in those documents, and their failure to live up even to the standards of Just War theory. The North Carolina Council of Churches has endorsed this effort, and invites preachers who feel so called to speak to these issues and to share their sermons with a wider audience through the Proper 29 website.

Peace to you,
