Peace & Justice Conversations: Community Peacemaker Teams
February 24 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Free
Community Peacemaker Teams (CPT) mission is “Building partnerships to transform violence and oppression.” CPT acts in solidarity with people impacted by war by accompanying them, advocating with them, and amplifying their voices at home and around the world. Weldon Nisly will share CPT history and stories of our local partners committed to peacebuilding and human rights while confronting war and oppression. Weldon has served with the CPT Iraq (2003 & 2010), Iraqi Kurdistan (2014-2022), and Palestine (2017 & 2018) teams, but will primarily focus on CPT’s work in Iraqi Kurdistan where Kurds are impacted by the ongoing War of Terror initiated and defined by the United States.
Weldon Nisly is a peace activist and retired pastor. Prior to leading congregations in Cincinnati and Seattle for nearly 30 years, Weldon served with the Mennonite Church and Mennonite Central Committee in peace and poverty ministries. His commitment to peacebuilding has taken him to war zones in Nicaragua, Palestine and Iraq.
About NHPA’s bi-weekly Zoom Peace & Justice Conversation Series: 2020’s upheavals brought us to a new moment of reckoning and possibility. How do we want to live in the world? What do we value? How can we make the changes we’ve been yearning for? NH Peace Action has been engaged in working for change for decades. We’d like to bring you into these conversations about issues and options for the future. There is no charge to attend, but your contributions in any amount are greatly appreciated.
