CPT and the
Give Orange community invites everyone to to take five minutes at 9:00 PM EST (6:00 PST) (02:00 GMT), tonight, Dec. 7, 2005, to pray, meditate, reflect, whatever you feel comfortable with, for the Christian Peacemaker Team members who have been taken hostage in Iraq. The hostage takers have set a deadline for Thursday for the US, British and Iraqi governments to release prisoners in Iraq. The time is chosen because it will be 5:00 AM, morning in Iraq. Whether or not you can make it to a prayer vigil for the CPT'ers, please join us at 9:00 PM.

I
diaried how impressed I am with the courage of these people. Whether you ageree with their pacifism or not, it is what real "Biblical" Christians look like. Especially their statement that violence should not be used to win their release. Who knows what good will come of us taking five minutes to all pray, mediate, etc, but I'm willing to take a
Pascal's Wager approach to this.
