Peter Owen-Jones (born 1957) is an English Anglican priest, author and television presenter. Owen-Jones dropped out of public school at the age of 16, and moved to Australia, where he worked as a farm hand. He moved back to Britain, and worked as a farm labourer in southeast England, then ran a mobile disco, before moving to London where he started work in advertising, as a messenger boy, eventually working his way up to the position of creative director. In his late 20s, with a wife and two children, he gave up his commercial life to follow a calling to the Anglican ordained ministry by enrolling at Ridley Hall, Cambridge. In early 1996, he gained notoriety when he conducted a service for the Newbury bypass protesters.
