About this Event
Conflicts within congregations happen. From the Gnostics to the Reformation to the last 30 years, we’ve seen massive Christian disagreements. Quakers have their own history of splits. But the divisive issues within congregation are both large and small. For four sessions, participants will work with one another and with Bill Eagles (mediator, retired lawyer, and Quaker leader) examining how to avoid, recognize, manage, and heal from conflicts within your congregation. How does decision-making turn into conflict? What can we learn from prevailing? From what feels like a loss? How can move through and beyond conflicts?
So, unless you bask in a conflict-free congregation, participation will offer insights into dealing with conflicts within your congregation, with attention on how your own approach can result in growth in faith.
The 4-sessions are scheduled for
Thurs., 11/13 from 7-9 PM (Eastern) Conflict Arising: What it looks and feels like.
Fri., 11/14 from 7-9 PM (Eastern) I Can’t Hear You: How we listen and how we might.
Sat., 11/15 from 10 -11:30 AM (Eastern) What do you mean that I might be wrong.
