Jerusalem Peacemakers
Who we are
Jerusalem Peacemakers is a non-profit voluntary organisation, an offshoot of the Creative Health Network. Over time CHN members met and grew close to a circle of peacemakers in Israel and Palestine.
JP was born in 2004, an alliance of these two circles. It is dedicated to supporting Holy Land peacemakers in human and practical ways. We work with people we know and take in new members only when we get to know them well. A high quality of relationship and integrity thrives between us all.
This voluntary, non-profit organisation is based in Glastonbury and Jerusalem, two historic, connected multi-faith pilgrimage places. We work by lightweight means, without offices and big admin expenses, coordinating through Internet and regular visits. To avoid legal constraint and for maximum flexibility, we are not a registered charity.
The people on the right are the project's anchorpeople, and we are assisted and encouraged by many wonderful friends and helpers worldwide.
