Call for Papers: Symposium on Conscientious Objection
The Public Affairs & Religious Liberty (PARL) Department of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada is sponsoring a Symposium on Conscientious Objection in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Anyone interested in submitting or presenting a paper at this symposium, please contact Tina Keys in the PARL Dept. at the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada; phone 905-433-0011, ext. 2078, or email tkeys@sdacc.org with their proposal for a paper. The Symposium is planned for November 6 - 9, 2008, Oshawa, Ontario.
Given the militarism of Western Society, it is thought that this type of symposium would be of benefit to assist Adventist young people, in understanding what the Seventh-day Adventist Church teaches regarding Conscientious Objection.
Papers may be on any subject concerning Conscientious Objection, whether from a historical perspective, theological perspective or a religious perspective.
