Description
Conflict is inevitable. Fighting is not. Episcopal Bishop Steven Charleston uses the teachings of the gospel to present a path to reconciliation that embraces justice, compassion, and forgiveness. This resource, for small groups or individual study, seeks common sense and common ground, even in the most difficult of arguments. The goal of the Good News process is to shift the focus of conversation from a deadlock of disagreement to the common ground of discipleship, to move a community away from demands for resolution through conformity, and to restore hope for reconciliation. Includes discussion questions, gospel reflections, covenants and prayers, and a Leaders' Guide.
The Rt. Rev. Steven Charleston is an Episcopal bishop, a Native American elder, and a citizen of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Currently he is a visiting professor on the faculty of the Saint Paul School of Theology at Oklahoma City University.
