MIT hosted defense and disarmament forum

Last month Thomas Moore spoke on a panel at the Institute for Defense and Disarmament Studies and Nuclear Freeze 25th Anniversary Symposium held Friday 21 October to Sunday 23 October 2005 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Moore’s shared session Saturday afternoon, was Psychological, Religious, and Cultural Responses to the Nuclear Threat. Harvey Cox, professor, Harvard Divinity School, Robert Jay Lifton, author, Harvard Medical School, and Alan Kay, founder, Public-Interest Polling, joined him for the session. The IDDS promotes its interests as: "Research and education on ways to reduce the risk of war, minimize military spending and foster democratic institutions."

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat of Spirituality and Health offer resources, compiled in 2003, to explore spiritual responses to security concerns: Spiritual Literacy in Wartime.
