General Lord Richard Dannatt, former Chief of the General Staff, delivered the fourth annual Theos lecture on 8th November 2011.

Lord Dannatt argued that the need for soldiers to understand and adopt high moral and ethical standards is more critical than ever today; and that military leaders need to set an example and ensure those ethical standards are rigorously adhered to. He also suggested that there is “a spiritual dimension that must not be overlooked.”

The lecture was chaired by Caroline Wyatt, BBC Defence Correspondent.
