Peace with Justice Joint Strategy and Action Team (JSAT)
The Peace with Justice JSAT has a DVD with accompanying study guide on "Ending U.S.-Sponsored Torture Forever" - a study for people of faith produced by the National Religious Campaign Against Torture, to promote dialogue among people of faith.
Discussion guides have been prepared for: Catholics, Evangelicals, Jews, Mainline Protestants, Muslims, Unitarian, Universalists.
The National Religious Campaign Against Torture (NRCAT) seeks to learn from the experience of congregations using this video and the discussion guides, as they continue to develop new resources to help people of faith address the issue of U.S.-sponsored torture.
