From diplomatic negotiation to military strategy, the panel will examine how idealism and compromise intersect in public life. What does an ‘ethical peace’ look like in practice? And what sacrifices does it demand from those in leadership?
Chaired by renowned broadcaster and ITV’s International Affairs Analyst Rageh Omaar, and with contributions from by the Rt Revd and Rt Hon Lord Williams of Oystermouth, the Rt Hon Baroness Ashton of Upholland, and General Sir Nick Carter, this conversation offers public servants and all those interested in public ethics a rare opportunity to reflect on the human, political, and spiritual costs of peace.
The discussion is being held as part of Westminster Abbey Institute’s autumn events season, Remembering War, Rethinking the Tasks of Peace. The season offers a powerful forum to reflect on the responsibilities of leadership in public life. Join us in exploring the moral imagination required to lead and to serve with courage and care.
Places at the event are free, but should be booked in advance.
