At a Glance
A half-day to one and a half-day Bible study seminar for church leaders who are called upon to intervene with a highly conflicted church. You will learn the common issues that are encountered and the common pitfalls to avoid.
"I so appreciate how you've presented the scriptural basis for reconciliation. It's no wonder that what I've been attempting hasn't worked!"

Who Should Attend?
Anyone called upon to address or intervene in a conflicted congregation. This often includes denominational or synodical leaders such as district presidents, middle adjudicatories, directors of mission, circuit visitors/counselors, regional pastors, etc.
This seminar is often sponsored as part of a leadership meeting or retreat of these individuals.
Benefits
This seminar will provide an introduction to the most complex reconciliation scenario, intervening in conflicted groups. It gives you the tools to make initial contact with the group, things you should be certain to do and pitfalls you should be sure to avoid.
This is not a substitute for the advanced training Group Reconciliation Assistance - Team Member, but it will equip you for the first steps.
"You have presented forgiveness in a way that makes it so real ... so practical ... so transformational!"

Each seminar is presented by a Christian Reconciler™ who is experienced in assisting people in their conflicts through coaching, mediation, and arbitration. They are specifically experienced and gifted in group reconciliation. Biblical accounts of struggling sinners, together with contemporary stories of real people, inspire and demonstrate how the principles presented are not theoretical but realistic and practical.
