Conflict Resolution Workshop

The PNW Board of Ordained Ministry takes seriously its role to provide licensed and ordained ministers for the mission of the church in the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference. With a vision to develop disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world, we seek candidates who are called to set apart ministry with the goal of establishing and renewing United Methodist Churches. We oversee the theological education of candidates and provide mentoring opportunities. In addition, we manage changes in conference relationships, assist in the retooling and continuing education of our clergy and specialized ministers and work with the various entities in the Annual Conference to further our shared mission.

Board of Ordained Ministry, Pacific Northwest Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church

Presented by Denise McGuiness, Ph.D, MDiv
This workshop will address how pastors can better handle conflict of all kinds in their churches, with special consideration for the current crisis in the global UMC. No matter what the results of the Special General Conference are, there will be implications for many of the churches in our conference on either side of the debate. This workshop can be a place of learning how to meet these challenges with grace and compassion for all involved.
Denise has been trained in the Just Peace process and has done conflict resolution work with churches all over the Greater Northwest Episcopal Area. Participants are invited to bring experiences of church conflict from their current church or past appointments. Actual scenarios will help to ground the learning in real-life terms.
This is part of an ongoing series of web-based ZOOM workshops on clergy wellness, hosted by the Formation Committee of the Board of Ordained Ministry. A minimum of 5 participants are required to register for this event to take place; a maximum of 25 participants may register. Registration will close on Friday, March 8.
