On Tuesday, June 9th, national faith leaders will convene on Capitol Hill to speak out against a morally and religiously indefensible war with Iran. Amidst escalating tensions between the US and Iran, speakers will call on all Christian leaders, theologians, clergy, and laypersons to choose peace over more war. The speakers will also call on legislators to support an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act to ensure the president cannot take unauthorized unilateral military action in or against Iran.
