Workshop 9: Violence
"Violence"
Members should be prepared to share one story of conflict to the workshop. The area of conflict will be explored with a view of the role or investment of a minister in the midst of violence.
I will be sharing stories of conflict from South Africa. One from the white community and another from a black community. The group will explore how the communities reacted in the midst of conflict. We will explore sermons preached at that time.
The workshop will also explore conflict in a global village. The agenda is as follows:
- short lecture on conflict
