Dear friends,

Please join the Theology and Religious Ethics Workshop for a presentation by Matthew Katz, M.Div.

When: Wednesday 5/10 at 4:45 pm
Where: Swift 106

Here is Matt’s abstract:

Lawyering in the inner-city for a decade representing victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, police abuse, etc., having been motivated growing up with the stories of Holocaust survivors to work for “never again,” put me in the eye of the story of our contemporary American version of man’s injustice to man. Religious Ethics at the Divinity School exposed me to the theory of moral injury, which scholars and psychologists have traditionally used to explain PTSD in veterans of war. By discussing how this theory might apply to the emotional, moral and physical violence endemic to today’s legal system, we might discern new ways of understanding the theory as well as our modern methods of meaning making.

This workshop is free and open to everyone. Food and wine will be served.

We hope to see you there!
