While enjoying the first day of spring weather on his bicycle this Wednesday, Christian Peacemaker Team’s founding director, Gene Stolzfus, died of a heart attack at the age of 70 near his home in Ontario. I had the great pleasure to work side-by-side with Gene on the CPT violence-reduction project in Iraq during 2003 and 2004. His charisma and courageous commitment to nonviolent alternatives to warfare left a lasting impression on everyone he encountered. We will miss you, Gene.
