Committee for Conflict Transformation Support

CCTS
Review 35

Dear Readers,
This issue of the Review contains a mixture of contributions. It begins with a short article by Alan Pleydell, about the life of Bob Neidhardt, for several years an active member of CCTS, who died a few months ago.

The next three contributions are related to Adam Curle, out of whose concern and inspiration the CCTS (originally the CCCRTE ) was born. The first item in this trio, written by Michael Randle, is an account of Adam’s memorial Quaker meeting and the celebration that followed it, held at Friends House on September 28th this year, the first anniversary of his death. This is followed by two appreciative pieces about Adam by Sue Williams and Simon Fisher.

These celebrations of influential lives are followed by an article that looks to the future and to policy. It is written by Diana Francis and describes an initiative to bring together peace, economic justice, environmental protection, along with human rights and political participation.

Finally we have two book reviews, contributed by Francesca Cerletti.
