LEARNING TO LIVE AT PEACE SCHEDULE


Friday Night 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

LECTURE I: Conflict: Good, Bad, or Neutral

Forgiveness: Not a Total Response
The Church: Why It Should But Often Doesn't

Analyzing a Case — Legally and Spiritually



ROLE PLAY: FINDING THE FACTS:

Participants are broken into groups of six — 3 peacemakers (who have no
facts) and 3 parties who have 2 pages of facts. Peacemakers are given two
hours to discover the facts and significance of the facts.

SHARING WHAT WE ARE SEEING: Group Discussion

Saturday noon -- Sack Lunch

Saturday -- 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm

LECTURE IV: Preparing Parties to Meet and Reconcile

ROLE PLAY: PREPARING THE PARTIES:
Groups re convene another 2 hours for the peacemakers to discover how
to prepare the parties to confront one another, confess their own faults, forgive
the other their faults, and minister to the needs of the parties.

LECTURE V: RESOLVING AND RESTORING:

LECTURE VI: The Celebration Where Do We Go From Here?

Compensation for the program is "negotiable" (teens welcome!), with no one to be turned away who is in need and unable to pay.

Seminars can be conducted for a single church. However, we like to see many churches in the community go together in sponsorship — an act which, by itself, displays unity and reconciliation.
