Walk the Extra Mile
mp3 Radio Play
'Walk the Extra Mile' is a radio play written by NCPO and FoRE for Greenbelt Festival's Peace Zone.
A reporter from 'Roman Radio' follows an emerging news story inside a first-century market-place. It appears that a Jewish man, ordered by a Soldier to carry his luggage, has carried it further than the decreed allowable one mile distance. Why has he done such a thing?
This radio play is ideal for use in discussion groups, presentations, and other gatherings. It can be used as a spring-board for debate about nonviolent resistance.

Security for the Common Good (Briefing Paper)
A Christian challenge to military security strategies
The first decade of the twenty-first century has seen increased global polarity. Iraq, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Israel-Palestine, Congo, are just some of those countries that continue to be torn apart by war and conflict, many in the name of the war on terror, others in the drive to secure access to and control of natural resources. As well as the obvious human costs, the opportunity costs of these wars are incalculable: lack of investment in social and development projects, the displacement of people, the destruction of essential infrastructure within countries, the fuelling of suspicion and hatred within and between communities.
This paper, published with Pax Christi, is a call to action for churches.
