Description
Transforming Church Conflict offers practical skills and strategies for handling conflict in the church. Based on years of studying nonviolent communication, the authors provide concrete problem-solving techniques to help pastors and lay leaders deal with discord. Real-world case studies and examples illustrate effective and compassionate ways to address internal divisions. The book guides readers through differentiating observations from evaluations, experiencing and expressing feelings, identifying and connecting with needs, and making requests rather than demands. By learning these basic skills of compassionate communication, church leaders can be empowered to transform conflict rather than just manage it. This book is a valuable resource for Christian ministry, pastoral resources, and leadership, providing helpful guidance for those seeking to address conflict in the church.
