| The CSJ Justice Committee is a group of Community members who concern themselves with current peace and justice issues and keep informed about them. The group informs and educates the Congregation of St. Joseph on these issues, initiates action, and sponsors events.To learn more about these efforts, please e-mail our justice office. Click here for justice links. Justice Coordinators Invite All To Get Involved The Justice Coordinators of all seven locations in our new Congregation of St. Joseph invite you to participate in one or more interest groups for our justice work.

Sami Rasouli, is the Iraqi founder of the Muslim Peacemaker Teams currently seeking to build non-violent, reconciling solutions among Sunni, Shiite, and Kurdish citizens of Iraq. He is shown speaking to two of the audience after a program he gave at the CSJ Worship Space in April 2006. The slide on the screen in the background shows Tom Fox, Christian Peacemaker Team member who had been found killed 118 days after being held captive by an unknown group in Iraq. Fox was a good friend of Rasouli and had helped provide training in non-violence to the Muslim Peacemaker Teams. |
