AL-KHALIL (HEBRON) REFLECTION: Darkness cannot drive out darkness

February 7th, 2012

in:

Hebron’s Old City has one main street. It connects the Ibrahimi Mosque to Bab il Balideyya, an open square next to the Beit Romano settlement and military base. Along this cobblestone road, narrower streets branch off, meandering deeper into the Old City, intersecting with other less trafficked alleys. At night, the Old City is dark, with only the main road lit, and there, only in scattered places.

PRAYERS FOR PEACEMAKERS, Feb. 8, 2012

Pray that voices calling for peace and economic security will be heard above those advocating violence against Iran. Give thanks for Ramyar, an Iranian Kurd, sharing his knowledge and gifts as part of CPT in the Kurdish region of Iraq.

COLOMBIA REFLECTION: Mark 5:21-29—Only one hope

February 3rd, 2012

in:

Colombia

The Colombian social organizations led by women are always the most vulnerable and least heard. Sometimes I wish God's justice came swiftly and unquestioned the way Jesus dispensed it in Mark 5:21-29. I see women who denounce the perverse and announce that which gives life, that which is to be enjoyed and shared with others. Others today may be touched by the mantle that thousands of years ago reached out to a woman condemned by doctors and society to remain sick and excluded all her life. We cannot ignore this story in our culture that silences women's voices—a society that chooses to isolate women because women don't live up to its standards. It is a culture that constantly represses and trivialises the work of hundreds of mothers, sisters, sisters-in-law, and daughters. At end of the day we hear these voices calling, "There is only one hope to see a different tomorrow."

IRAQ: Boom, boom, boom bangs the war drum

January 30th, 2012

in:

Iraq

We have learned that some of our reporting on the conflict here in Kurdistan could be used to justify military action against Iran.

Our team in recent months has included Canadian, European, Kurdish, and U.S. members. From our CPT family and from world news, we are aware that no one beats the drum of war louder and with such zeal as the U.S. media and their allies, including Israel and certain members of the European Union.

We do not wish to be a part of this.
