Saturday, October 24 from 10-12 noon. A presentation featuring Lynn and Steve Newsom, co-directors of Quaker House Military Counseling Center, Fayetteville, NC, home of Fort Bragg. MORAL INJURY, a relatively new term employed by the Veterans Administration, recognizes that among the effects of war on military personnel is emotional trauma over serious transgressions of moral, spiritual, or religious beliefs. Acknowledging the reality of “moral injury” provides common language for people of faith and conscience to collaborate with the medical profession in caring for the needs of veterans of all wars, past and present. (For more information about moral injury, see the August Meeting newsletter for in-depth article.) This free workshop is sponsored by the Richmond Peace Education Center, the Alliance for Unitive Justice and Friends Meeting. It is open to the public so please share information with others who may wish to attend also. If you plan to attend, please email Gordon Davies or Betsy Brinson. (The Newsoms will be presenting on moral injury to the local Veterans Hospital on Friday.) This is a timely opportunity to learn more about this important concept.
