Anabaptist Short Course: Transforming Congregational Conflict

Conflict in the congregation is one of the most difficult experiences pastors and lay leaders will encounter while in ministry.  Conflict can destroy congregations.  Done well, however, engaging differences can be a sign of vitality, energy and spiritual maturity. Drawing from Biblical, theological, practical and spiritual sources, this course will explore the possibilities and pitfalls of courageously engaging in differences within congregational life and in building congregational cultures that nurture the tender balance between honesty and kindness and that generate faithfulness and joy.

This online non-credit short course is taught by Betty Pries, CMed, MTS; PhD (ABD).
