The Society of Christian Ethics, which is an ecumenical group of Christian ethicists that meets annually in January, is about to have its meeting in Washington, D.C. Our discussions have been richer since we have been meeting in conjunction with the annual meetings of the Society of Jewish Ethics and the Society for the Study of Muslim Ethics.This year's president is Stanley Hauerwas; here is his "call to meeting" letter. The focus of the conference is war and peace; one of the plenary speakers is frequent Commonweal contributor Andrew Bacevich. You can find the entire program here, if you're interested in seeing what the hot topics in religious ethics are!
