Congregations cannot exist without finances, priorities,
leadership, worship, and decision making, yet these five aspects
breed the most conflict between church members and clergy. These
conflicts unfortunately tend to bring about the most negative
consequences: drops in giving, resignation of leaders, and, perhaps
most pointedly, loss of members. The importance of congregations
and their effect on our lives is clear, yet what is less clear is
what makes conflicts in faith communities inevitable. In Promise
and Peril: Understanding and Managing Change and Conflict in
Congregations, David Brubaker brings the tools of organizational
theory and research to the task of understanding the deeper
dynamics of congregational conflict. With a doctorate in sociology
and more than twenty years working with congregational conflicts,
Brubaker helps to explore the causes and effects of conflicts on a
wide range of congregations. This book will help congregations
avoid the pitfalls of conflict and instead head toward a healthy
relationship between and among church staff and members.
