Leadership inevitably evokes conflict. St. Paul advises us, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone” Romans 12:18. In other words, we cannot eliminate conflict, but we can deal with it wisely. This workshop pondered the dynamics of worship conflicts, and suggest steps for navigating through them.

Presented by Syd Hielema at the 2013 Calvin Symposium on Worship.
