Religion professors to debate 'just war theory' at local church

By Amy Gage
April 10, 2005

Two professors of religion at St. Olaf will debate opposite sides of the difficult question: Is war ever justifiable? Assistant Professor of Religion Phil Stolzfus and Visiting Assistant Professor of Religion Jamie Schillinger will lead an indepth discussion on Sunday, April 10, at a lay-led service of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Northfield.

The church meets in the Masonic Lodge at the corner of Linden and Second streets, less than a mile east of the St. Olaf campus.

Stolzfus's extensive community activities include organizing periodic regional meetings of the Upper Midwest regional group of Christian Peacemakers. Schillinger, a graduate of St. Olaf, focuses his academic interests on theology and ethics in both the Christian and Islamic traditions. The service, which begins at 10 a.m., is open to all.
