I had to look up this so called "peace group" and this is what I found!
pairlist.net
Please consider joining one of our delegations to Iraq. We
anticipate a series of delegations, the first traveling as early as
October. The CPT delegations will form part of the Iraq Peace Team being
planned by Voices in the Wilderness. For more information, see their
website, www.iraqpeaceteam.org. Contact me at cpt3@igc.org to apply.

CPT ANNOUNCES "GENERATIONS FOR PEACE" DELEGATIONS TO IRAQ
Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT), in cooperation with Voices in the
Wilderness (VitW), is recruiting peacemakers to travel to Iraq as the U.S.
government engages in discussions about waging war with that
country. Applications are being accepted immediately for two-week
delegations.
Delegations will stay in Baghdad or other cities in Iraq, and in case of
attack, be deployed to facilities such as hospitals, schools, bridges,
markets, sewage and sanitation facilities. Teams will also travel on roads
between the various cities and towns. Priority will be given to places
that include people and institutions that support life. An effort will be
made to connect with churches in Iraq.
Interested persons of all ages are invited to apply now for the
multi-generational teams (minimum age 21, no upper age limit.) Older
adults especially are encouraged to consider joining the delegations,
recognizing that there is a certain moral weight to "grandmas and grandpas"
being willing to stand in the way of U.S. bombs.
As in all CPT delegations, participants accept the risks to personal safety
and uncertainties of travel inherent in being present in a conflict zone.
An additional risk for U.S. citizens is that travel to Iraq violates U.S.
federal law. In the event that bombing actually starts, travel in and out
of Iraq could be difficult or delayed. Delegates should be prepared for the
possibility that their term may be extended due to situations beyond the
control of organizers.
Cost of the delegation is $2000 US, which includes round-trip airfare to
Amman, Jordan, simple accommodations and food, all on-ground travel, and
other team support.
Christian Peacemaker Teams is supported by the Church of the Brethren,
Quakers, and Mennonites, as well as other Christian bodies.
CPT seeks participants who are interested in human rights work, committed
to nonviolence, and willing to participate in team worship and reflection.
In addition to contacting media and government officials before travel to
Iraq, delegates will be invited to develop plans to share about the trip
upon return to their home communities and congregations.
For more information or to apply, contact CPT at the address below, or see
CPT's website at: cpt.org.
