With a positive theology of change, we can live as Christians known
not for disagreements or self-interest, but for our love through
difficulty. "When congregations can move forward from conflict,
weather change well and allow ourselves to move beyond old and
outdated stories, then we are able to create a new story for our
future.... Do we dare to ask God to lead us to a new place?"
—from the Benediction Change and conflict are often feared in
churches—but they don't need to be. When we learn to see these
difficulties as normal, healthy parts of being a community, it is
much easier to navigate them with a minimum of anxiety and bad
behavior. We are able to let go of our fears and face change and
conflict as catalysts for moving forward in the mission of showing
God's love and justice to the world. In fact, there is no way to
move forward in mission without change and conflict. This
warmhearted guidebook will help your church navigate change and
channel conflict into deeper understanding and a stronger sense of
community. Lay leaders, pastors and church staff will be empowered
by creative, easy-to-implement strategies to: Establish appropriate
congregational behavior and communication Practice nonanxious
leadership in the midst of upheaval Foster productive community
discussion and discernment Manage a community's tendency to
polarize disagreements Encourage imaginative thinking and creative
responses to difficult situations Replace a congregation’s
discouraging self-image with an empowering vision for ministry
