Conflict Conversations - Boundaries and Relational Covenants

Often conflict arises due to a lack of healthy boundaries or the transgression of boundaries. Personal boundaries define "what is me" and "what is not me." Communal boundaries describe "what is us" and "what is not us." Relational covenants help transform conflict by defining personal or communal boundaries. Created in community, relational covenants are useful, living documents that promote clarity and accountability in faith communities, families, workplaces, teams, clubs, and other settings.
In partnership with the Conflict Transformation Ministries of the NC Conference of the United Methodist Church, the Center for Reconciliation at Duke Divinity School is pleased to host a yearlong series of conversations about conflict transformation. Join us on Tuesday, October 31st with Rev. Beth M. Crissman, Blue Ridge District Superintendent and Missional Strategist for the NC Conference of the United Methodist Church in Asheville, N.C., as she talks about Boundaries and Relational Covenants.
In addition to giving a short presentation and engaging participants' questions, Rev. Crissman will provide practical resources and lists of materials to help equip us in our journey to be more self-aware and more confident as we work in and on conflict.
Registration is requested but not required.
