Torture as a Moral Issue: What Kind of People have We Become?
June 8-10
Torture Is A Moral Issue: Dr. George Hunsinger, Founder of the National Religious Coalition Against TortureWhat kind of people have we become? This question, asked by Dr. George Hunsinger, Presbyterian minister and professor at Princeton Theological Seminary, led him to found the National Religious Coalition Against Torture. The National Religious Campaign Against Torture (NRCAT) is committed to ending US-sponsored torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. Since its formation in January 2006, over 130 religious groups have joined NRCAT, including representatives from the Roman Catholic, evangelical Christian, mainline Protestant, Unitarian, Quaker, Orthodox Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and Sikh communities. Members include national denominations and faith groups, regional organizations and congregations.
PCU is proud to co-sponsor a series of visits by Dr. George Hunsinger throughout the Los Angeles area, with All Saints Church, First Congregational Church, Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace, the Islamic Shura Council, and the American Friends Service Committee. People of all faiths are invited. Please join us at one of these events and learn more about torture - and how people of faith can end it.
