We are pleased to announce that Carol Rose, the Co-Director of Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT), will be a special presenter at the 2011 Intercultural Consultation and Celebration.
Rose will speak about CPT's ministry of active peacemaking, which is sponsored by the Church of the Brethren and other Christian denominations and organizations. She helped form the CPT Colombia project. Rose has also served with CPT in Iraq, Palestine, the Arizona-Texas “borderlands,” and in Ontario. She is the facilitator/presenter for the Biblical non-violence portion of the CPT Core Training.
An active peacemaker since the late 1970's, Rose worked serving refugees from Central America in Dallas, Texas in the early 1980's. During the mid 1980's, she served with Brethren Volunteer Service and Mennonite Central Committee in Honduras on the border of El Salvador accompanying Salvadorans seeking refuge. During the late 1980's and early 1990's she worked in northeastern Thailand (popular education and planting rice), Mindanao Philippines (formation of Base Christian Communities) and in Lancaster, Pennsylvania (program director of pro-life organization serving single parents who were also students) before finishing seminary and pastoring a small urban congregation in Wichita, Kansas.
Rose is also a gardener, a poet, a pastor, spouse of Duane Ediger, and currently a member of First Church of the Brethren in Chicago, Illinois.
