Stephen Brown reviewed a new documentary film about Frank Buchman in the 7 June 2018 edition of the Church Times. He writes:

'Buchman had remarkable success, transcending religious and national barriers in his quest to replace a warring world with one of justice and peace. He was in touch with many influential people... , being in the right place at the right time to encourage interfaith relationships, racial harmony, and economic justice. He coincided in San Francisco with the United Nations conference, where he spoke individually to leading players responsible for drafting its charter.

'Buchman’s headquarters at Caux, Switzerland, became the meeting-place for post-war reconciliation between France and Germany, leading to the inception of the European Coal and Steel Community.'

Brown concludes that 'MRA did have its external admirers, and Buchman was right that you could build a new world only out of people. That’s where you start.'
