In Living with Conflict: A Challenge to a Peace Church, Susan
Robson explores the discomforts and denials that can arise when an
organization committed to doing good suspects that it is not living
up to its declared aims. This case study of Quakers in the United
Kingdom closely examines the challenge of living constructively
despite ever-present internal conflicts. Drawing on ideas from
contemporary organizational theory, Robson s study points the way
forward for Quakers and other value-based groups. Living with
Conflict compares the evolution of the Quaker peace testimony to
the experience of other peaceful churches, in both their
relationships to the wider world and how they handle congregational
conflict. It analyzes conflicts in small church congregations,
looking at triggers and responses, past and present, describing the
consequences of challenging community narratives and creating
counter-narratives. Students of peace and conflict studies,
organizational studies, and the sociology of religion will find
this study thought-provoking. Living with Conflict is also for
anyone who has ever joined an organization they thought was
welcoming and safe, working together for the common good, only to
see it unravel into a flurry of acrimonious e-mails, slammed doors,
tears, legal proceedings, even tragedy.
