Conflict Management
"With gentle humor and unfailing insight Wayne Oates brings us to a more empathic understanding of backbiters, authoritarians, self-servers, clinging vines, and star performers who create stress and conflict in the church. He challenges us to see them as persons created in the image of God, rather than malicious troublemakers. Wisely refusing to place blame, Oates distributes the responsibility for both problems and interventions throughout the system. Using both a Biblical/ethical lens and his psychological skills, Oates develops strategies which enable the congregation to 'care for' these people rather than simply 'cope with' their behavior. At the same time he guides us in protecting the integrity of the church. A practical guide for the church, particularly the leadership. |
