Bridgebuilding by Alastair Mckay

Bridgebuilding by Alastair Mckay

There is a prevailing culture of ‘niceness’ within churches which can lead to conflict avoidance, suppression and denial. Consequently, ministers and church leaders often struggle to handle tensions, difference and competing demands within their congregations. Drawing on practical theology, conflict theory, family systems theory and experience, Bridgebuilding will help church ministers and church members find more fruitful ways of engaging with tensions and conflicts in the life of the Church. It offers numerous practical tools for transforming conflict into opportunities for personal and corporate growth. It complements the 'Growing Bridgebuilders' training course developed by Bridge Builders with CPAS.

Alastair McKay is a priest in the Church of England and is the founder and director of Reconciliation Initiatives, an independent charity helping churches to handle conflict better and to strengthen relationships in divided societies, www.reconciliation-initiatives.org Over 20 years, he co-founded and then led Bridge Builders, providing training and mediation for churches in the British Isles.
