Conflict is endemic to congregational life. Because congregations
exist to help us find meaning and purpose, we find it difficult to
realize that not everyone shares our understanding or approach.
Many of us have cultural backgrounds that teach us that conflict is
bad or to be avoided. Conflict Transformation, on the other hand,
treats conflict as an opportunity to learn and grow, both
individually, and institutionally. Exploring new understandings of
how our bodies and minds respond to conflict, Cooley offers
concrete strategies for personal growth and healthy congregational
functioning. Anticipating new conflicts that may arise from recent
traumas of pandemic response and political division, Cooley offers
a way to make painful conversations sources of healing. Drawing on
over 30 years of experience as a parish minister and denominational
official, Cooley weaves personal reflections with intellectual
theory. Each chapter includes discussion questions that make it a
valuable resource for group conversation and learning.
