A typical dictionary* definition of War includes the wording “… declared hostile conflict …” The intentional taking of lives is implicit in such conflict.This week’s Roundtable will include questioning if ethics can exist in war. If so—and of urgent importance—what ethics are being practiced in the wars in Gaza and Ukraine?

Once each month on Sunday mornings the Westchester Community for Ethical Culture offers a forum for discussion and debate on a wide variety of topics – some controversial some vexing some puzzling but all requiring careful examination in an ethical context. This series is known as the Living Ethics Roundtable.
It is open to WCEC members and non-members alike; there is no fee nor any requirement to participate other than a willingness to exchange thoughts and opinions with respect and civility.
The format for the Living Ethics Roundtable sessions is simple:
We begin at 10:30 a.m. with a light mid-morning refreshment – coffee tea pastries.
At 11:00 a.m. we gather in the large meeting room for a brief orientation to the day’s topic and to distribute worksheets for discussions that will follow.
We then divide into two or three groups – the roundtables. Each roundtable group is moderated by a designated facilitator.
The discussions are planned to last approximately 45 minutes. Participants then reconvene in the large meeting room to share highlights and conclusions of the roundtable discourse.
Please come – Your voice and opinions are important!!!!
