Remembering War, Rethinking the Tasks of Peace
In the 80th anniversary year of the Second World War, and as global conflicts persist, Westminster Abbey Institute’s autumn series offers a powerful forum for public servants - and all who are interested in these vital issues - to reflect on war, peace, and the responsibilities of leadership in public life.
Join us in exploring the moral imagination required to lead and to serve with courage and care.
