Christliche Friedensstifter Teams

CPT entstand 1984 als Reaktion auf einen Aufruf, dass Christen die gleiche Disziplin und Selbstaufopferung für die gewaltfreie Friedensarbeit aufbringen sollten wie das Militär für die Kriegsführung.

Auf Einladung von lokalen Friedens- und Menschenrechts– gruppen schickt CPT heute Teams in Krisengebiete und Gegenden mit viel Militärpräsenz in der ganzen Welt und bindet damit die weltweite Kirche in eine organisierte, ge- waltfreie Alternative zum Krieg ein.

CPT verfolgt die Vision von unbewaffneten Interventionen, die von überzeugten Friedensstiftern durchgeführt werden. Diese sind bereit, im Zuge mutiger Aktionen Verletzungen und sogar den Tod zu riskieren, um tödliche Konfliktsituationen mit Hilfe der gewaltfreien Macht von Gottes Wahrheit und Liebe zu transformieren.

IRAQ REFLECTION : It takes a village

January 27th, 2012
in:

The multicolored van wove its way along the rocky dirt road, and gently up a hill. Looking ahead I could see them -- twenty five or so young children dressed in their school uniforms, standing in front of the building, swarming about their two teachers. As they spied our vehicle (not terribly hard to do), they began to jump up and down, jog in place, and wave to us.

PRAYERS FOR PEACEMAKERS, Jan. 25, 2012

Pray with CPT for all First Nations people in Canada taking leadership in stopping the Tar Sands project. Oil production from the sands would sacrifice land, ecosystems, human health, and cultural heritage.

AL-KHALIL/HEBRON:Three Stories of Resistance on Martin Luther King Day in Hebron

January 20th, 2012
in:

Undeterred by heavily armed border police at the Qitoun checkpoint that CPTers monitor because schoolchildren and teachers must walk through it, the teenager who sells ka'ak (a chewy sesame bread) argues with soldiers every morning until they finally unlock the gate to the checkpoint and let him and his cart through. On Martin Luther King Day, however, they were ignoring him, so he finally walked back over to the gate, picked up a rock, broke the padlock, and pushed his cart through. The Border Police pushed him back and locked the gate. Another day, another time, they could have beaten him up or arrested him as has happened many times to young men his age in Hebron, and he must have known that, but he was literally determined to go about his business.

IRAQ UPDATE: December 2011

January 19th, 2012
in:

Bombing of the border areas and completion of the opinion survey.

The team completed its survey of public opinion regarding Turkish and Iranian bombing of the border with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) area, and distributed it to media, government officials, political groups, universities, non-governmental organizations, the Suleimaniya mayor’s office, and the embassies of Iran, Turkey, France and the USA. On 5 December, Thiessen, Firla and Mohammed Salah held a news conference at the Culture Café to publicize the survey, which then received considerable attention in local media. The team also held vigils outside the KRG parliament in Hawler (Erbil) to highlight the bombings. On 21 December, the team, border villagers Mr. Bapir and Mr. Khidr, and the Federation of NGOs, met with the parliament’s Human Rights Committee (HRC) to present the survey and a detailed report done by the Federation on the damage to life and property from the bombing. The HRC promised to visit the villages to see the damage, and the villagers asked CPT to join them to witness the visit if it happens.
