Why a Conference on War?

Wars and rumors of war are swirling around us, even right here on our doorstep in Europe. Many people are worried and fearful as to the future. Will all of Europe be swept into a wider war yet again? The purpose of this conference is to help you think through what the Bible says about war and how Christians should respond.
