SUMMARY:Mercy Peace Forum webinar with Michael Baxter
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Mercy Peace Forum\, Michael Baxter is set to tal
 k about peacemaking during war during a virtual webinar 7 p.m. Wednesday\,
  April 10.\n\nBaxter's presentation is titled\, "The Grace of Doing Almost
  Nothing: Reflections on peacemaking amid the perplexities of war in Ukrai
 ne and Gaza."\n\nEvery semester\, the Mercy Peace Forum sponsored by the P
 eace History Society holds a webinar on a current issue related to peace. 
 The three Mercy universities that host the series are Georgian Court Unive
 rsity\, Gwynedd Mercy University and UDM.\n\nThe wars in Ukraine and Gaza 
 are perplexing in their claims of justice. While there exist clear reasons
  for going to war in each situation\, when we take a longer and wider view
 \, the call to go to war becomes unavoidably ambiguous and deeply dangerou
 s. In the presentation\, Baxter will look briefly at these situations\, re
 view Richard Niebuhr's famous "The Grace of Doing Nothing" essay\, which w
 as written in response to the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931 and t
 hen discuss taking a similar stand now.\n\nBaxter is a visiting associate 
 professor at McGrath Institute for Church Life at University of Notre Dame
 . He taught eight years at Regis University in Religious Studies\, four ye
 ars at DePaul University in Catholic Studies and 15 years at Notre Dame in
  the Theology Department. He also co-founded Catholic Worker communities i
 n Phoenix and South Bend\, and helped revive the Catholic Peace Fellowship
  in 2002.\nRegister for the Zoom!
