S5 E6: The One About Peace and Conflict

Updated: May 24, 2022


As we check the news for updates regarding Russia and Ukraine, I take a look at the topic of Peace and Conflict. A popular theme in the GCSE, I consider what war is, different types and causes of war. Is war sometimes our moral duty or is all war is immoral? I look at inspirations from some of the world religions consdering the Old Testament God and the teachings of Jesus, Islamic teachings of Jihad, and the symbolism of the Kirpan in Sikhi. I look at Aquinas' Just War theory, the pacifist teachings of Quakers, and the example of Desmond Doss as a Conscientious Objector.

How to support The RE Podcast

I want to continue to create the RE Podcast as a FREE resource for teachers. However, there are runnings costs. I have to pay a monthly fee to Buzzsprout to host the podcast, I have to pay a fee for the website and the email address, I have to pay a fee to riverside fm to let me record interviews, plus the recording equipment has been a huge investment and needs updating..

There are THREE ways to support;

1) A one off gift at my Buy Me A Coffee page

2) Become and Patreon and give monthly where you will get extra content for FREE.

3) If you can't support financially, please leave a review on apple podcasts
