Anybody interested in Christian Peacemaker Forms to register your peace position in case of a draft, please contact Roy Hange. Roy is willing to organize an evening for those interested to help with questions and filling out the forms. The most important part of this process is to have prepared a statement before any draft or call up and to have that statement sent and filed at both the conference office and our church office. Doing so avoids many problems once a draft occurs. Please contact Roy about a time for a meeting.
