RELG 360 - Conflict, Change, and Misconduct in Congregations (4)

Conflict. Decline. Misconduct. Most people hope that these things will never happen in their congregation. They do occur, however, even in congregations where no one would expect it. This class is based on the assumption that everyone in ministry needs to be aware of these challenges, to have procedures for preventing damaging occurrences, and to know how to respond when these things happen. This class incorporates social scientific research, Bowen family systems theory, and practical tools for how to minister during these difficult circumstances. Prereqs: UCCA 102 and UCCP 102. Offered: Fall and Spring, on rotation.
