Social Action Standing Committee Talk on "Terrorism and A Christian Response"

The Social Action Committee presents the first SA talk of AY0708

"Terrorism and A Christian Response"

The recent hostage crisis involving the kidnapped South Koreans inAfghanistan have once again raised the spectre on terrorism. In fact,terrorism which has existed in antiquity, gained prominence since thehorrifying attacks of September 11, 2001, in the United States, hasbecome a serious concern for not just government but the averagecitizen. More importantly, despite the pervasive clout it commands,there is a pressing need for a dispassionate Christian interestbesides mere reactionary responses. In the light of these exigencies,the need for Christian concern is real and necessary.

What is terrorism? Who is a terrorist and why they commit atrocities?Why should it deserve our attention and how should we respond?

These questions and issues will be discussed and debated.
