A few days removed from the Veterans Day holiday, we respond to it by recovering its roots in Armistice Day: a celebration of peace. Can we as Unitarian Universalists harness the power of nonviolence for peacemaking in this time of terrible violence by our own government, among others? Today, a veteran proposes that yes, we can: by engaging with young men in our lives, by joining hands with peacemakers of other faiths, and by reframing Veterans Day as a time to honor and support conscientious objectors.<\/p>\n
Building on the message of the service, a workshop will take place at 1pm. The workshop will prepare elders to engage young men in dialogue about war and military service, while providing the young men a safe space to share their thoughts about the same topic. All will learn about the new Selective Service law and the most basic steps to document, or help someone else document, a claim to conscientious objection.<\/p>\n
