Transcription de la présentation

  1. Resolving Conflict in a Bi-vocational Church Finding Biblical and practical models

  2. What are the major causes of conflict in churches? • We fail to put into practice the Biblical model of community • We have developed a system of decision making that creates anxiety • We have tried so hard to keep the peace that we have made peace harder to grasp

  3. What is unique about Bi-Vocational led churches? • Sharing leadership is different • The ability to handle so many pieces of life • Often the amount of contact time creates a gap • Amount of time available for training in leading people

  4. What are signs of Conflict? • Will see a “power group” • Manipulating for personal desires • Anxiety level is high

  5. We’ve lived with it so long Why can’t we just leave It alone?

  6. It is causing major distractions from the work of the Gospel

  7. The Biblical Model Matthew Five Matthew 18 15Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. • 22But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. • 23Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; • 24Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. • 25Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

  8. Conflict Transformation in the Early Church Negotiation Matthew 18:15 Mediation Matthew 18:16 Arbitration Matthew 18:17 Negotiation Matthew 5:23-24 Mediation Philippians 4:2-3 Arbitration 1 Corinthians 6:1-6

  9. Anxiety in Decision Making • The majority rules model leaves a minority that will feel less valued • We do not involve a process that allows the Holy Spirit to speak – discernment • Quick solutions versus right solutions • Too few involved in big decisions, too many involved in little decisions

  10. Some steps to think about • Move towards a discernment process • A structure that is focused on ministry and empowered to act • Have a weekend workshop on conflict resolution, let your people learn about healthy conflict • Start a proactive peacemaking culture • You model peacemaking
