Description: Team unity does not mean that disagreements never arise and contrary opinions are not expressed. With a healthy mixture of personality, styles, and opinions we can expect conflicts to arise. So instead of unity, we seek to build community.
The mark of a healthy healing community in Rachelʼs Vineyard is a team that exhibits true Biblical unity. It is not the absence of conflict, it is the presence of a reconciling spirit.
This workshop will help us learn ways to communicate directly through conflicts in a spirit of charity and humility. We will explore some of the ways that oneʼs own family dysfunctions can be re-created on retreat teams, and how to avoid the pitfalls of not resolving conflict.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the difference between unity and building a community.
- Learn ways to communicate directly through conflicts in a spirit of charity and humility.
- Explore the ways that oneʼs own family dysfunctions can be re-created in working teams and how to avoid the pitfalls of unresolved conflict or repetition of unhealthy family dynamics.
