is used as the title of a moving collection of short essays, talks, letters and expressions of gratitude of Gene Stoltzfus, a founder of Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) who died in March 2010.Christian Peacemaker Teams was founded officially in 1988 with Gene Stoltzfus as Director until 2004. As he said "We realized that our primary task was to carry forward the kind of presence that pointed to truth and opened spaces for the surprise of peacemaking. We know that the struggle to break through the barriers created by violence would require listening, perseverance, critical reflection and imaginative, symbolic thinking . . . And we had to learn to sing and celebrate, to pray together and to cheer each other on."
