About this Event

Conscientious Objection - saying no to war

Event Description: Since 1916, the UK has recognised the right to conscientious objection to military service. But what did that mean for those who chose that route—and their families? And what about Israelis, Russians and those in war zones elsewhere today? This open meeting will tell the stories of people facing tough choices.

Organised by Portobello & Musselburgh Quakers
