MIN 759 - Conflict and Peacemaking within Organizations and Communities

Credits: 1.5
Empowered by the Spirit to renounce violence, love enemies, and seek justice, students will learn to deal with misunderstanding, disagreements, and conflicts within churches, non-profit organizations, and local communities. In an effort to practice peace of Anabaptists are susceptible to gossip and to passive-aggressive avoidance of conflict instead of moving toward people with whom they disagree. Students will be equipped with useful and Jesus-like strategies for bringing reconciliation to parties in conflict.
