2. Peace-making and Development:
   In our "day" jobs, Tim works for and Jacqui volunteers with Mennonite Central Committee. MCC is a relief, service, community development, and peace agency of the North American Mennonite churches. Working in about 60 countries, MCC's mission reflects the biblical call to care for the hungry and the thirsty, the stranger and the naked, the sick and those in prison. Motivated by God's reconciling love and grace, human need and a concern for justice, MCC is committed to the biblical vision of peacemaking.

3. Third Way Cafe:
   Information about Mennonites. Political, social, spiritual, and peacemaking articles and reflections from a Mennonite perspective.
4. Fair trade: Ten Thousand Villages, a programme of Mennonite Central Committee, provides vital, fair income to Third World people by marketing their handicrafts and telling their stories in North America. Fair Trade is an alternative approach to conventional international trade which promotes social equity, economic security and sound environmental practices. 
5. Christian Peacemaker Teams:
   CPT is a violence-reduction project supported by Mennonites, Church of the Brethren, and Quakers. CPT's motto is "Getting in the Way" and refers to our belief that Christian peacemaking involves stepping into situations where there is violence and injustice, and working with local partners to transform those situations with creative, Spirit-led, and non-violent action.
