Workshop: Conflict and Community

$20.00

We all have had disagreements. Most of us have been in meetings and churches when disagreements seem to take over.

How can we face conflict and maintain community? What might we do or say differently if we are in the community only for a season? Does it matter whether or not we are called into the community to participate in resolving the conflict?

We’ll look at these and related questions together, including with Friends who have embraced a call to public ministry.

This one-hour workshop will take place virtually on Tuesday, September 22 at 12 pm ET. This workshop is $20, or free for members of Public Friends. Find the promo code on the Member Homepage.

This event is brought to you by Friends United Meeting and Public Friends.

Bill Eagles has conducted workshops and spoken on Quaker topics, including conflict among Friends and Quaker decision-making, for a variety of audiences, including Haverford College, Wilmington College, FWCC Section of the Americas, FUM, and Earlham School of Religion.

He has a BS degree in agriculture from North Carolina State University, an MA in higher education from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a JD from Wake Forest University. A retired lawyer, he is an experienced teacher of undergraduate and law students.
