The Eve of Saint James the Great
The Sixth Sunday After Pentecost
O God, the protector of all that trust in thee, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us thy mercy; that, thou being our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we finally lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Proper 12)

Fr Austin returns to this perennially important topic, with the hope that our thinking about it can be aided with some tools drawn from the thinking of Augustine and other greats, who were themselves thinking about war in terms shaped by the Bible. A good but challenging book on the subject is Oliver O’Donovan’s The Just War Revisited.
This week Fr Austin looks at ‚Äúproportionality,‚Äù the understanding that even permitted actions should not be undertaken if they would bring about a ‚Äúdisproportionate‚Äù amount of harm. There is, of course, an analogy in ordinary acts of judgment. Simply because a person deserves such-and-such a punishment, does not mean that the judicial system should do everything it can to see that the guilty receives the punishment due, and receives it in its fullness. Part of the reason is this: acts of judgment are to provide the conditions for a society to move on into its future. That is, they don’t only seek to make a pronouncement upon what has been done, but they also look prospectively, in a forward direction. ‚Ķ We meet at 10 o’clock on the 5th floor, with the air conditioning on; and we welcome newcomers. (Every week the class opens with a recapitulation of the key points.)
