Though many traditions have not rejected all use of deadly force, all have made judgments on when, how, and by whom this can be done,\u201d said an introduction to the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the \u2018tools\u2019 within US foreign policy is the selling or giving of weapons and related systems. This practice is used to strengthen diplomatic relations, further national interests, and bring economic benefit to the US arms industry. This lecture will describe how this process is seen within the strategic planning of Washington, challenge underlying assumptions, and argue that such transfers cannot be separated from war-making and must be subject to ethical reasoning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etown.edu\/centers\/young-center\/events.aspx\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"www.etown.edu\/centers\/young-center\/events.aspx\">www.etown.edu\/centers\/young-center\/events.aspx<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find more Church of the Brethren news:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/six-awards-from-associated-church-press\/\">Messenger and Communications receive six awards from the Associated Church Press<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/pastoral-care-in-focus-in-honduras\/\">Pastoral care in focus on a trip to Honduras to support deported church members<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/learnings-from-l-e-a-d-conference\/\">\u2018What got us here won\u2019t get us there\u2019: Learnings from the L.E.A.D.
