I worked for three years from 1989 to 1992 in a peace mediation effort between the military government and ethnic insurgents, providing support and consultation for indigenous church leaders who led the mediation process. Since 2001 I have traveled almost every year to Myanmar to teach conflict transformation skills and principles to church leaders, through the sponsorship of the Shalom Foundation and Myanmar Institute of Theology.
