"NASHVILLE (July 29, 2009) -- Faith leaders from across the Christian theological spectrum gathered at Lipscomb University's Institute for Conflict Management in Nashville, Tenn., this week to learn professional techniques necessary to tackle a challenge common to all faith traditions: conflict."
Conflict management is an integral part of pastoral care duties, so this program will support and further ministerial leadership. The more programs such like this that are enacted by faith communities the better people will be able to deal with disputes, disagreements, and anger. Programs like this serve to bring people together in reconciliation and reunion rather than live with resentment and division. I would even suggest putting into place a center or institute such as this that focuses distinctly on interfaith conflict resolution from a multi-faith perspective.
Lipscomb University's Institute for Conflict Management (ICM) is the Mid-South region's foremost authority and purveyor of academic and business specific resources to equip students, organizations and professionals with skills to minimize the costs of unresolved conflict.
