Description

How should Christians think about war? Is violence ever justified? Doesn't the Bible teach peace? What about Nazis, though? Putin? When should we go to war? When is violence actually the answer? Was it ok in WWII (because...Hitler/nazis), but not Vietnam? What about Americans inserting ourselves into the Middle East? What about the war in Ukraine? What about a potential civil war? Can/should Christians take an oath to serve the state/serve in the military? What does Jesus/the Bible say? Come hear our special guest, Dr. Jeffrey Green, walk us through ideas around just war theory, pacifism, and a Christian's response to war and violence. Then we'll have a large format group discussion where you can text your own questions in to our larger panel of pastors and professors, all while enjoying delicious craft beer! $10-preregister, $15 door | Craft beer & food | First Lutheran Midtown This event is open to YOUNG ADULTS only (20's & 30's) The cost for this event is $10 beforehand, $15 at the door.  Please Venmo that to @sarahmariestone or 832-605-8129 before the event.
