Christian Peacemaker Teams Delegation
I am joining a CPT delegation to Kenora from July 28 to Aug. 6. I don't know much more yet, but the issues in that community are around racism and descrimination toward Aboriginal People. I look forward to developing my peacemaking skills and learning more about that community.

P.S. I had the pleasure to meet James Loney on thursday at a monthly peace vigil here in Toronto that began in response to him being kidnapped in Iraq in November. It is continuing on to maintain a public witness to the thousands of Iraqis held in American military prisons with no charges and no due process. We were thankful that Jim was able to be with us.

That's not very long, I thought it would be for longer. Is Melissa going too? or what is she doing while you're away?
It is a short term delegation. I would have to do a 4 week intensive training program to go on a longer CPT mission. Melissa will probably spend a lot of time at her parents cottage during that time.
And you're moving during that time too - you certainly live up to the "crazy cressman" title. :)
Seriously though, I am so proud of your committment to peacemaking. God be with you!
so cool! *jealous* maybe some day I will be as cool, I can only hope. Best of luck and have fun learning!
