If any party is uncomfortable with the forum in which the conflict is raised, it is legitimate to request and discuss what the most appropriate forum might be. Fair conflict always allows people who are charged with poor performance or inappropriate behavior to know who their accusers are, to learn what their accusers' concerns are, to respond to those who accuse. Sometimes conflict spreads to the point of consuming the energies of the whole church. Sparks People have minor disagreements over their goals, needs, perspectives, value, methods, or interests. People can still be led to work through their disagreements by acceptance, approval, or appreciation.
People express disagreements through minor power plays.
Interventions Never allow the growth of the church to shift emphasis away from the value of the individual. Hold leadership retreats for spiritual and relational development. Promptly respond to complaints. Things seldom right themselves. Review the church master plan annually with the church to keep ownership high.
