Hugo, I thought you’d like a couple of things related to this. Here’s an email from Gene Stoltzfus about the situation. And here’s a post by an UNembedded journalist about CPT and the current situation.

Hugo, thank you for letting others know about this. Until Al Jazerra broadcast this yesterday afternoon, CPT was trying to keep it out of mainstream media.

I greatly admire the men and women who work with CPT. I only hope that if ever in such a situation, I would be able to follow Christ’s lead as strongly as they have committed to do.

Chris, I’ll try and do that in a future post…

Thanks for the link–I wasn’t specifically aware of CPT, though I knew some individuals went to do things like this.

Could you write more in depth about your pacifism and how you came to it? It’s something I struggle with–I’m torn between the “reasonable” perspective that sometimes endorses violence and the more “foolish” (and therefore more Christlike) pacifist perspective. I’m confused enough about the issue that I’m certainly far from practicing any kind of active pacifism.
