| Sample Prayer
"On
November 26, four activists of Christian Peacemaker Teams were abducted
in Iraq. We pray for their kidnappers, that they may realize that violence
will not help us build a better world.We pray for our four friends, that
their faith may sustain them in these difficult times and that they may
bear witness of the Christian love for one's enemies, as they have always
done in their activity in support of the victims of war. We pray for all
the Iraqis who have disappeared or are being held captive, that they may
soon be reunited with their loved ones."

We remain concerned about the well-being of our team-mates.
At the same time, we remain concerned about the well-being
of all Iraqis who are suffering under occupation.
Those who are with our team-mates have demanded the release
from captivity of the Iraqi detainees held in United States
and Iraqi prisons.
Christian Peacemaker Teams believes that no single person,
no single nation, can meet the demands of Justice. No
single person, no single nation, can meet the demands of
Peace.
We believe that it is everyone's responsibility to do their
part to bring each combatant and each captive home to their
families and to end the war and occupation.
