COLOMBIA: Palm Sunday materials available; “The battle-bow shall be cut off, and he shall command peace to the nations” -Zechariah 9:10

On 17 April 2011, Palm Sunday, Christian Peacemaker Teams invites churches to pray and act in solidarity with Colombians displaced by oil palm plantations.

CPT Colombia offers resources for worship, action, and prayer that allow worshipers to hear echoes of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem—and the events that soon followed—in the lives, struggles and deaths of people affected by Oil Palm and other industries that unjustly continue to remove them from their lands in Colombia and elsewhere.
