Matthew 18:15-20
As we kicked off our program year with Sunday School,
"God's Work. Our Hands." Sunday and more, today's Gospel lesson
challenged us to be honest about the challenges and conflict that come with
being an active community with diverse goals. How does Jesus instruct us to
manage conflict? How have we managed conflict in our congregation, and how can
we do it better? For starters, I am proud to introduce my favorite
communication and conflict management model, the Role Renegotiation Model
(believe me, it's so much better than the name), and its practical partner, the
Pinches and Praises box. Because Jesus is with us, we can be bold to trust one
another with our honest concerns.
