Conflict is challenging for Christians.  Christian environments are  both conflict prone and conflict averse.  We sadly don’t have a good history of managing our disagreements positively and well.  Consequently there is a lot of pain and hurt around conflict for many in leadership.  In fact, the stress caused by conflict is the number one reason pastors leave ministry.  In this day seminar, we will explore three elements of conflict and how you as a mentor can help those you work with to act with wisdom and integrity when they find themselves in tension.  We will look at common causes of conflict, how to assist others frame conflict in  helpful ways, constructive behaviours in conflict and how to mentor others toward competency in conflict management.
