SUMMARY:Workshop on Transforming Conflict led by Rev. Dr. Terasa Cooley.
DESCRIPTION:Conflict is endemic to congregational life. Because congregatio
 ns exist to help us find meaning and purpose\, we find it difficult to rea
 lize that not everyone shares our understanding or approach. Many of us ha
 ve cultural backgrounds that teach us that conflict is bad or to be avoide
 d. Conflict Transformation\, on the other hand\, treats conflict as an opp
 ortunity to learn and grow\, both individually and institutionally.\n\nExp
 loring new understandings of how our bodies and minds respond to conflict\
 , Cooley offers concrete strategies for personal growth and healthy congre
 gational functioning. Anticipating new conflicts that may arise from recen
 t traumas of pandemic response and political division\, Cooley offers a wa
 y to make painful conversations sources of healing.\n\nDrawing on over 30 
 years of experience as a parish minister and denominational official\, Coo
 ley weaves personal reflections with intellectual theory. Each chapter inc
 ludes discussion questions that make it a valuable resource for group conv
 ersation and learning.\n\nLunch is in the UnderCroft\, 12-1 p.m ish\, and 
 the presentation is in the Schweitzer\, 1-3\n\nSchweitzer Room and Undercr
 oft Gallery
