Colombia Accompaniment 2.0
Today, with gratitude and hope, we answer the invitation to renewed partnership in what we have been calling “Colombia Accompaniment 2.0.” Calling it this draws attention to the ways we are both continuing the same program that began 22 years ago and also doing so in new ways that respond to the changing dynamics, capacity, and needs on both sides.
The Third Displacement
Reflecting on the situations families are facing in trying to seek justice under the law, this pastor asked, “Is the law just the strong hand of the rich?”It seems like the answer is yes. The IPC keeps pushing for peace with justice, and keeps accompanying the victims and survivors of violence. Our role is to keep listening, keep learning, and keep walking alongside the IPC as they raise these questions.
Leaving with more questions
When people have experienced violence or committed acts of violence, what is justice? We have heard it several times, "without justice, we can't have peace."
Committed to Peace
Think about what it’s like to have spent most, if not all, of your life from the time you were 15-18 years old camping, with no modern comforts, training and fighting with a group of people who become like family.
