As our nation watches the events of the U.S. military leaving Afghanistan, we are reminded again of the unseen cost of war – moral injury. 

To honor the UN International Day of Peace, we are hosting a discussion with Kelly Denton-Borhaug who has long been investigating how religion and violence collide in American war-culture.
