This week's episode features audio from a lecture with Dick Keyes called, "Early Peacemaking: Can Conflict be Outmaneuvered Before it Starts?"

Much has been well-said and well-written about conflict resolution. But it is, by definition, reactive to conflicts already burning. Christian peacemaking is more proactive, with strategies which can help to avoid conflict altogether.

Dick Keyes is the former director of Southborough L’Abri Fellowship, where he has worked with his wife and family since 1979. He holds a B.A. in History from Harvard University and an M.Div. from Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia.

Dick has also worked for L’Abri Fellowship in Switzerland and in England. He served as a pastor in the International Presbyterian Church in London for eight years. He has been an adjunct professor at Gordon Conwell Seminary and Westminster Theological Seminary.

Dick is the author of Beyond Identity and many other titles and is currently writing a book on the significance of Jesus’ questions. He has lectured widely in the U.S. and also in Europe and Korea.

Dick and his wife, Mardi, are minority members of an African American Church, which has enriched their lives and experience of worship enormously. Dick is a member of the Ministerial Team.
