This synagogue's attitude to conflict is now much healthier. The key is member's attitude to conflict. To disagree is evidence of caring and involvement. When issues arise, members move towards each other, not away, and they enjoy the vigorous exchange of views that follow. The middle, or third, voice can help the congregation be unafraid of conflict and to welcome it as an opportunity.
Any reconciliation process is a continual search for divine guidance.
Out of that search will come creative and new ideas. Often with strong voices all around, and a sense of urgency to get a resolution, we lose faith. It is the job of the Third Voice to remind us to al-low time and patience for the process to work. In the long run, the Third Voice provides stability and a sense of security to the congregation. They will keep the institution going.
