Peacemaker Project
PEACEMAKER PROJECT
Based on the Book and Workbook by Ken Sandle
Introduction:
Conflict Resolution is an essential element of life but a task filled with so many diverse issues that not many can engage it without feeling a bit unprepared. Through the grace of God we have been given a wonderful ministry of reconciliation and direct commands to live at peace with others. The core outcome of this project is to allow you to practice the principles of conflict resolution laid forth in the Peacemaker text.
Personal Conflict:
For the purpose of the Peacemaker project, I would like to deal with the conflict between Les Robinson, a deacon in our church, and myself the church pastor. The problem is Les’ personal life is affecting the ministry of the church. Les is forty-six and has been married to married to Sister Sabrina Robinson for six years and together they have three adult step children. Before they were married, Les was released from his position as a probation officer with the State of California.
As a result of the things that have happened as a result of Les’ decisions he’s now negative to his wife. He doesn’t see how his behavior is affecting the church. He drives to church in a different vehicle and doesn’t acknowledge his wife at any point in the worship service. Furthermore, whenever he addresses her it is always in a harsh and demeaning manner. On one particular occasion, after a minister finished preaching, he asked everyone to hug someone. Les was standing next to his wife; he never turned to her, but walked right pass her and hugged someone else. His wife broke down and started crying.
Because of actions like this, members in the church could not follow Les and therefore, has been removed from the deacons’ ministry. The purpose of this project is to address the issue with Les and to help heal the ministry of the church.
Part one: Glorify God
