Join us in Houston January 11 or in Tyler January 12, as Dr. Craig Gilliam helps us ponder these questions:
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?
The event will be held on two dates. The first event will take place from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm on Monday, January 11, 2010 at FUMC Houston – Westchase Campus in the youth assembly room.
The second will be from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 at Marvin UMC in Tyler.
If you register and attend either session, you will receive lunch; two articles and a booklet on conflict; Center for Clergy Excellence conflict resolution resources; and four hours continuing education credit. The cost is $15.
