January 21stCPT Changes Name
After 35 years as Christian Peacemaker Teams, the nonviolent peacebuilding organization announced a new name on Jan. 13 — Community Peacemaker Teams.
“We are excited to announce this name change as it better reflects who we are,” stated CPT in a release. “We have grown in membership and partnership, and after multiple years of consultation with our community and partners, we only thought it fitting to live into our growth.”
The release noted the mission of building partnerships to transform violence and oppression will continue, but now with a name that better reflects CPT’s growing membership and diversity.
