Clergy Wellness Workshop – Conflict Resolution Workshop

Presented by Denise McGuiness, Ph.D, MDiv

This workshop will address how pastors can better handle conflict of all kinds in their churches, with special consideration for the current crisis in the global UMC. No matter what the results of the Special General Conference are, there will be implications for many of the churches in our conference on either side of the debate. This workshop can be a place of learning how to meet these challenges with grace and compassion for all involved.

Denise has been trained in the Just Peace process and has done conflict resolution work with churches all over the Greater Northwest Episcopal Area. Participants are invited to bring experiences of church conflict from their current church or past appointments. Actual scenarios will help to ground the learning in real-life terms.

This is part of an ongoing series of web-based ZOOM workshops on clergy wellness, hosted by the Formation Committee of the Board of Ordained Ministry. Click here to register for this workshop online. A minimum of 5 participants are required to register for this event to take place; a maximum of 25 participants may register. Registration will close on Friday, March 8.
