CPT is a faith-based group that seeks participants for all delegations who
are interested in human rights work, committed to nonviolence, and willing
to participate in team worship and reflection. The delegation experience
culminates in a nonviolent public witness that challenges structural
violence. Delegates should have plans to share about the trip upon return
to their home communities and congregations.
Cost covers round-trip airfare from a designated U.S. or Canadian city,
all
on-ground travel, two meals a day, simple accommodations, and all
honorariums and delegation fees. For more information or to apply, contact
