CPT INTERNATIONAL: Mission, Vision and Values

 
  CPTers with leaders of CAHUCOPANA, a Colombian grassroots human rights group that organizes and trains for community action against militarization and paramilitary violence in their region.
“Our work is overcoming fear.”

Over the last couple of years, CPT has
been engaged in an organization-wide “Mission
and Presentation Re-visioning” process. As we approached the 25th anniversary of CPT’s founding, we
began to take a fresh look at the vision, mission, values and visual identity
of our organization. This process flowed out of our 2009 Strategic Directions
for Undoing Racism. We are pleased to unveil the fruits of our collaborative
process to date.

MISSION
Christian Peacemaker Teams: Building
partnerships to trans­form violence and oppression

VISION
A world of communities that together
embrace the diversity of the human family and live justly and peaceably with
all creation 

VALUES
Christian Peacemaker Teams is committed to
work and relationships that:

  ∙ honor and reflect the presence of faith and spirituality

  ∙ strengthen grassroots initiatives

  ∙ transform structures of domination and
oppression

  ∙ embody creative nonviolence and liberating
love

Part of rethinking CPT’s
public presentation includes development of a new logo, a task yet to be
accomplished. Keep alert for an upcoming
opportunity to participate.
