Conflict in congregations is inevitable. All too often it is destructive; but it doesn’t have to be. Conflict can be a healthy sign of a passionate congregation. It can provide opportunities to learn complex decision-making and responsible behavior.
In Conflict in Congregations the Center reports insights from interviews with 11 congregational conflict consultants and 6 clergy who had experienced significant conflict in their congregation. Learn what congregations tend to fight about and what an intervention from a conflict consultant might look like. Discover 12 factors that signal healthy ways of dealing with conflict in a congregation. Conflict in Congregations offers additional resources and suggestions for using the report with a governing body.
