If you are a member of the ACR Workplace Section you can attend “Mediating Conflicts in the Religious Workplace with David Brubaker, MBA, Ph.D.”, a free 1-hour teleseminar Tuesday, March 31, 2015 at 2:00pm EST (8:00am Hawaii Time).
Practitioners with experience mediating conflict in the workplace are well-placed to expand their practice to include religious settings. Regardless of faith tradition or organizational context, (congregation, diocese, or faith-based organization), conflicts surface in every religious workplace. What’s most important for conflict interveners in the religious workplace is an understanding of and respect for the spiritual commitments and practices of disputants.
This teleseminar will include insights from the presenter’s experience of mediating and consulting with a broad range of organizations in the Christian tradition and with a Hindu ashram. We will also invite participants to share their learning from conflict work in other traditions.
