The primary focus for this training is CT clergy, but the workshop is 
open to all.  The goal is to create a publicly visible network of people 
in CT to whom military personnel can turn if they are questioning the 
morality and legality of the war in Iraq and/or are considering 
conscientious objection.  This workshop will provide basic information 
about legal rights and options available to military personnel.  It will 
also connect you with a network of people who are ready and able to 
assist with problems/situations you don't know how to address.
