Expand Christian Peacemaker Teams? IIIII

Print Article

Ron Sider (Oct. 7) calls for an expansion of Christian Peacemaker Teams’ efforts in coming years, both in the church and beyond, enlisting just-war Christians as well as pacifists. This inclusive approach—not demanding that only pacifists be involved—is countered by his call for CPT to abandon its pro-gay rights stand if it expects to get mainstream church backing for its work. Inclusiveness apparently has its limits.
