On August 15th at 2:00 p.m., the First Congregational Church of Long Beach will host a free community forum with Captain Paul K. Chappell, U.S. Army, retired, speaking about: “United States Security in the 21st Century.” The church is located at 241 Cedar Avenue, Long Beach.
Captain Chappell is a graduate of West Point, a veteran of the Iraq War, and is Peace Leadership Director for the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation. He is the author of Will War Ever End? and The End of War, and is currently writing his third book, Peaceful Revolution.
This event is co-sponsored by more than twenty-two interfaith, community, peace and veterans’ organizations in Los Angeles and Orange counties.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu said, “Captain Paul K. Chappell has given us a crucial look at war and peace from the perspective of a soldier, and his new ideas show us why world peace is both necessary and possible in the 21st century.”
