Conflict in Congregations
- As leaders, how do we frame conflict and anxiety so we do not fear it, but imagine it as part of growth and healthy community?
- How do we create a culture of responsiveness, not reactivity and resistance?
- What are some values, principles and insights that will help us as we minister in conflicted situations?
- How can we help our people and ourselves relate to each other in a manner congruent with what Christ teaches—an “I-Thou,” not “I-It” way toward self and others?
- How do we artfully dance with conflict and anxiety in a way that helps us and our congregations grow through and from it?
