Experiments in Truth and Conscience

Daniel and Robert Ellsberg

May 16-18, 2008


Spend a weekend with this famous father and son. They have chosen different ways of public witness for social justice, peace and truth, and taken different paths for dealing with saints and sinners.  Their stories are about risk-taking and moral choice.  Their storytelling, informal conversation,   provocative presentations, and shared reflections  about facing the moral challenges of yesterday and today will leave you inspired and empowered to continue your own experiments in truth and conscience.
