Discipleship and Ministries Learning Network Bristol and West Midlands
Growing through Conflict….
The course comes from the Methodist Conference Initiative POSITIVE WORKING TOGETHER.
It is a basic course looking at key concepts in Conflict Resolution in the local church context. We look at conflict styles and a model of how conflict escalates and what we can do to de-escalate. Participants will be invited to fill out a Conflict Styles inventory and also be asked to share in small groups a conflict situation that he or she is dealing with or has dealt with. The course is open to Lay and ordained.
A day for learning more about handling difficult situations
Are you the kind of person who has an interest in conflict resolution and transformation?
Do you have to handle difficult situations as part of your role?
Are you interested in learning more about how people handle conflict for themselves?
Are you involved in district or circuit groups that help others with issues around complaints and discipline or reconciliation?
Then this maybe an event for you!
The Methodist Church has partnered with Place for Hope to provide a resource called GROWING THROUGH CONFLICT. It is designed to help people consider their ‘conflict style’ and how to respond in difficult or tense situations. It also explores how conflict escalates in a church context and begins to consider some tools to help de-escalate conflict. This day explores all this in an easy, accessible way.
Please bring your lunch along with you.
Revd Clive Fowle and Judith Halliday, both experienced Conflict Resolution Practitioners, will lead the day.
