Peter Rowan, Co-national director of OMF (UK), was interviewed earlier in the year by Eddie Arthur. Drawing on experience his experience in Malaysia, Peter shares some of his thinking about how the gospel of Jesus, through the local church, is a powerful agent for reconciliation across societal and cultural divides.

Peter Rowan and his wife Christine served with OMF in Thailand and Malaysia before taking up their role leading OMF (UK).

Eddie and his wife have worked for many years with Wycliffe Bible translators and Eddie writes and blogs regularly about making Jesus known across the world.

Peter's PhD thesis on the themes of reconciliation in the Malaysian church context became the book Proclaiming the Peacemaker and later a shortened version Seeking Reconciliation.
