- W278005732 abstract "Essential Reading Is it naive to recommend prayer to congregation embroiled in conflict? So experts seem to think! The church-conflict management literature in general relies not upon prayer but upon suggestions for making 11 structural changes and/or improving structure of congregational Theological conceptions of conflict and its transformation are virtually absent. Most authors are silent about ways to appropriate Christian resources and tradition in face of congregational turmoil. The following recommendations expand boundaries of what is conventionally viewed as clergy/lay leader advice, on assumption that to name, understand, and transform conflict in Christian community, we need to articulate who we are called to be. The Fabric of Hope: An Essay. By Glenn Tinder. Atlanta, bra.: Scholars Press, 1999. Embodying Forgiveness: A Theological Analysis. By L. Gregory Jones. Grand Rapids, Mich.: William B. Eerdmans, 1995. The Ministry of Reconciliation: Spirituality and Strategies. By Robert J. Schreiter. Maryknoll, N.Y.: Orbis Books, 1998. These three books facilitate transforming conflict-in churches and elsewhere-through careful reflection upon forgiveness, and reconciliation. They take Church conflict seriously, even when it is not specifically mentioned; they are ideal for retreats, adult education, and seminary studies. Christianity offers we say. Yet we're struck dumb or rely on trite explanations when pushed to elaborate. The Fabric of remedies this. Hope enlivens, draws us into future, engages us in living, Tinder claims (p. 13). In contrast, hopelessness and fear weakens, paralyzes and immobilizes us. is also indispensable to social life: Without a common people flee from common life. Faith, love, grace and obedience all inform Tinder's exploration of how to live eschatologically.

It is nurtured, inhibited, abused or marginalized. Articulating Christian hope is a central task as we cope with conflict in our corporate lives. So, pragmatist wonders, we may now have this congregation of gracious hope-ers, but how can we get beyond divisions created when we moved baptismal font two years ago? Enter L. Gregory Jones, Embodying Forgiveness. Jones does for forgiveness what Tinder does for hope. To embody forgiveness includes living as one who is forgiven.

Forgiveness is not optional or confined to specific situations. It is not primarily a word spoken or an action performed or a feeling felt (p. xii). It is a craft to be learned, shaped, and lived in Christ-centered communion. Robert Schreiter's quiet, powerful book, The Ministry of Reconciliation, is informed by Church participation in truth and reconciliation activities in South Africa, El Salvador, Chile and other nations in crisis. Two-thirds of book is a set of meditations on Easter appearances of Jesus. Schreiter argues that these familiar texts present moments of reconciliation for (p. vii). Interspersed among his exegeses are reflections on central dimensions of individual and social reconciliation: memory, healing, forgiveness, truth and ministry. The final third of book offers strategies for determining what reconciliation means in a particular socio-historical context and for developing ways to come to terms with a violent past, shared differently by victims, survivors, victimizers, bystanders, dead, and God.
