We gravitate towards different things for different reasons. One of the reasons I’m pursuing a degree in Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation is that I am tired of not effectively handling conflict. My desire for peace has thrust me into something through which God can use me to make a difference.

Brad Palmore recently completed the MACRR program and was instrumental in convincing me to pursue it, as well. Brad has begun a series of blog posts that deal with Church Systems. His insights are deep and will test you, but it has been worth it so far. I can’t wait to see where he goes. But if you yearn to better understand Church Systems- how they operate, why they operate the way they do, and why things have developed the way they have- then I think you need to subscribe to his blog. Here is a link to his first post in this series.
