We are pleased to offer a congregation-wide workshop on “Conflict Transformation,” a way of understanding conflict as a natural and neutral part of life, with the strategies and skills to use our differences to build stronger relationships. If we approach conflict with the question of what it has to teach us, it can be transformative. International peace negotiator John Paul Lederach developed this method in working with some of the world’s most intransigent conflict in places such as South Africa and Ireland.

 

As applied in congregational life, as well as in our own personal lives, it offers tools for understanding and negotiating conflicts as learning opportunities.
