Public Peace Witness Resources:Christian Peacemaker TeamsWe believe Jesus witnessed publically in a prophetic critique of the social, political, religious and economic structures of his time. In this tradition of Jesus - a tradition carried on by Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Badshan Khan, and many, many others - CPT organizes and encourages nonviolent public witness, sometimes called nonviolent direct action, as a method of social transformation towards an envisioned Kin-dom of God. We believe we must take our Christian faith from the pews to the public space. Public witness is an intentional way of offering our peace perspective to the wider community. Includes a toolkit for Christians, basic checklist for enacting a public witness, ways to organize affinity groups, creating publicity materials, getting media attention, how to write a press release, and an orientation to the legal system.
