Posted August 14th, 2008 by peripalestini
What would happen if Christians devoted the same discipline and self sacrifice to nonviolent peacemaking that armies devote to war?
Find out how Casper and Erin Adson an Australian couple went to Israel-Palestine with Christian Peacemaker Teams to be a creative public witness.
HEAR: Casper and Erin Adson of Christian Peacemaker Teams in Canberra 22 - 24 August 2008
Erin and Casper Adson are a young Australian couple who have had their lives turned upside down by the power of creative nonviolence. Early in 2008 they joined a Christian Peacemaker Team (CPT) delegation to the West Bank in Israel-Palestine where they explored a Christian response to international conflict and the people who are affected by it on a daily basis.
Since they’ve returned to Australia they have been presenting an alternative narrative of the conflict and building solidarity in Australia. Erin works in community development and Casper is a chemical engineer. They want to join other ‘ordinary radicals’ in exploring another way for this war-torn world.
