Christian Peacemaker Congress IX

Tearing Down Walls...

Restoring Communities...

September 20-23, 2007
Toronto, Ontario

Christian Peacemaker Teams www.cpt.org hosts this conference, with Every Church A Peace Church as its co-sponsor in planning and carrying out the event. Other groups, including Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America, support the event with funds and workshop leadership. We encourage ECAPC folks to begin to plan now to cross the border to Canada (take your passport for return to the US!) and participate.

Everywhere walls divide and destroy the bonds of human solidarity. As Martin Luther King Jr. said, our choice is between nonviolence or nonexistence.
Explore the power of nonviolence to tear down walls and restore communities broken by violence through worship, workshops, and prophetic public witness.

Speakers

Jim Loney was a member of a Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) delegation that was kidnapped in Baghdad in November 2005. CPT Iraq team member Tom Fox was murdered on March 9, 2006, two weeks before Jim, Harmeet Singh Sooden and Norman Kember were rescued. Jim has been a member of CPT since 2000 and has served on CPT projects in Palestine, Esgenoopetij/Burnt Church, NB; Kenora, ON, and Iraq. He will reflect on the power of nonviolence to dismantle the walls that divide us and build a new sense of human community and solidarity.
