The focus of my research is on The Application of Biblical Principles of Conflict Transformation in Ethno-religious Situations, with Specific Reference to Jos and Kaduna in Nigeria .<\/p>\n<p>While at EMU, I did my practicum January-February, 2003, under MCC in Jos, Nigeria, where Gopar Tapkida was heading the peace program. It seemed to me that Gopar was faced with a daunting task, and I really wondered how long it would take before we saw the fruit of his labor. Well, I had the privilege of going back there for my doctoral research last summer, 2006, and I was truly amazed at how effective and widespread the trainings in peacebuilding had been.
