102 days ago, Russia invaded Ukraine. That made it one of 26 wars currently happening in the world at this time. In this platform, Dr. Rost will tackle the topic: How to Abolish War! Is this a pipe dream? Is it attainable in our lifetime? What can we, as average citizens of the world, do to work toward this goal?

Sunday meetings begin with music, followed by greetings and a talk given by a Society Leader, member, or guest.
