About the Yoder Dialogues:
John Howard Yoder, a founding fellow of the Kroc Institute and a professor of theology at Notre Dame, was an insightful and effective proponent of Christian non-violence. In addition to initiating courses on war, law, ethics, and non-violence, he began a dialogue with faculty in military science that continues to this day. A generous gift from Anne Marie Yoder, his widow, established an endowment to fund the John Howard Yoder Dialogues on Nonviolence, Religion, and Peace.
This talk is free and open to the public. It will be followed by lunch and informal dialogue.
