The mission of the Truth Commission on Conscience in War is to "honor and protect freedom of conscience for our nation's service members."

The Public Hearing on Sunday, March 21 will bring together leaders from academic, faith, veterans, and advocacy communities – along with the general public – to receive testimony from those affected by the moral dilemmas of war.

Together, we will hear from recent veterans, military chaplains, religious leaders, and legal experts about issues of conscience, just war, military service, and the rights and regulations governing Conscientious Objection.

If your congregation or organization would like to co-sponsor this event, please contact Ian Slattery for details.
