Contents:
Hope for a heretic The paths of conflict The heart of conflict God's glory in conflict Peacemaking in the family of God Confessing our sins to another Granting true forgiveness Looking out for the interests of others Pastor as mediator Mediation and arbitration Church discipline principles Church discipline practices Toward becoming a peacemaking church.
Summary: Every pastor faces conflict in the church, and Alfred Poirier has this loving reminder: we can run, but we can't hide. Jesus set the example as the Incarnate Peacemaker, and Scripture clearly calls his servant-pastors to be ministers of reconciliation. So the issue is not whether to be a mediator but what kind of mediator to be. Thoroughly exploring the theology of reconciliation, Poirier adds lessons from personal experience and lists practical steps for effective mediation. With this comprehensive guide, you can embrace peacemaking confidently as a way to glorify God through the overcoming power of the gospel. And, as Jesus promised all peacemakers, you will be blessed.
