Restoring Balance: Peace Through Right Relationships

Denver, Colorado (USA)

 

The tenth Christian Peacemaker Teams' Congress will take place in Denver, Colorado on 17-20 September 2009. The theme will be "Restoring Balance: Peace Through Right Relationships."

The congress will be a time to:

• hear the voices of Aboriginal Peoples
• learn new ways of peace
• consider together what "balance," "shalom," "peace," and "justice" mean for different peoples
• struggle together to bring these things into being
• learn about CPT's work and community
• Through worship, workshops, and prophetic public witness, the Congress invites you to "get in the way" of Jesus to bring healing, transformation, and long-term competent strategy to our peacemaking. 

Speakers and resource people:

• George "Tink" Tinker, Baldridge Professor of American Indian Culture, and Practice at Iliff and author of "Missionary Conquest."
• Elizabeth Garcia, CPTer and immigration activist mobilizing opposition against the Border Wall and immigration detention centers
