Christliche Friedensstifter Teams

CPT entstand 1984 als Reaktion auf einen Aufruf, dass Chris– ten die gleiche Disziplin und Selbstaufopferung für die gewalt– freie 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: Christian Peacemaker Teams report challenges U.S. reading of Iraq situation

September 2nd, 2010
in:

Suleimaniya, Iraq—The future of Iraq is more complex and uncertain than the current U.S. narrative claims, according to a report just published by Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) in Iraq (download here in pdf format.)

The report quotes Iraqis who express doubt on the effects of the U.S. military “surge,” the trustworthiness of the Iraqi military, and the reliability of Iraqi public figures and institutions.

“Iraqis in this report challenge the simplistic success story that the U.S. is telling about Iraq,” says CPTer Marius van Hoogstraten.

The report, entitled “Iraq after the Occupation – Iraqis speak about the state of their country as the U.S. military withdraws,” is based on extensive interviews with Iraqi citizens in various parts of the country.  It recommends that the U.S. “think creatively” about ways to support Iraqi society before the U.S. military withdraws entirely at the end of 2011.

CHICAGO/TORONTO: CPT seeking peacemakers for September and October delegations

September 2nd, 2010
in:

Christian Peacemaker Teams is seeking applications for early autumn delegations to Palestine/Israel (5-18 October; apply by 8 September); Colombia (13-26 October 2010; apply by 15 September); and Treaty #3 territory in Northwest Ontario (24 September-6 October, apply by 8 September).  Delegates to each of these areas become familiar with situations of injustice affecting local people and become effective instruments for peace as they spread the word about what they see and hear in their home communities and elsewhere.

IRAQ REFLECTION: Confession of an Iranian resister

August 31st, 2010
in:

It's one thing to talk from a distance about the courage needed to embrace nonviolence in an armed conflict. It’s entirely another when working for peaceful revolution involves breaking allegiance with a violent company that actively pursues traitors.

HEBRON REFLECTION: “Captain, Where Is Your Sense of Decency?”

August 22nd, 2010
in:

I wondered what was going on in your heart.  I had often encountered you on the streets before this day, and most often I observed you as a decent policeman trying to do your job.  This day I saw something so different in you.
