Quotes from Presenters at CPT’s Peacemaker Congress:

Safety comes when all of us stand together and say in unison that we will not allow this violence to continue, that we will not allow our children to die and we will not allow our community to suffer and deteriorate.
– Elce Redmond

In God’s economy there is such a thing as “too much” and “too little.”[In the USA] we already have a “poverty line” which says below this is too little. Now we need a “greed line” that says above this amount for a family of four is too much.
– Rev. Dr. ShantaPremawardhana

 

What [religion] a person is does not matter.  In Jesus’ mind, the only thing that matters is whether what that person is doingcontributes to the reign of God.
– Rev. Dr. Shanta PremawardhanaBible study based on Mark 9:33-39

 

CPT stories inform and educate about the communities of peacemakers that we partner with – their nonviolent resistance…  As we do the dance of “getting in the way” and “getting out of the way,” remember that CPTers are part of the story.  Be in the story.
– Sylvia Morrison

Septermber Supper Fundraiser

Will you host a dinner party for CPT?

CPT really needs your support in raising $10k in September. Unfortunately, we are behind our financial targets and need your help. We want to dedicate the month of September to bringing people together around the dinner table. You can choose the date, who you invite and what you cook (though our teams have some great recipes prepared!) We’d love to hear if you’d be interested. 

There’s no commitment needed at this stage.
