Jaech, holder of a master's degree in conflict facilitation and organizational development, said conflict naturally occurs in every congregation. Equipped with essential skills, congregations can turn it from a painful and divisive experience into a process that helps it deepen and grow.
Skills Pastor Jaech will present include creating helpful attitudes; learning to speak effectively to each other to come to agreement; and becoming aware of the many roles that church leaders play.
The workshops all are from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays. The first is on Oct. 6 at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church of Bremerton, 1015 Venita Ave. The second is on Oct. 13 at Lutheran Church of Christ the King of Tacoma, at 1710 85th St. E. The final workshop is Nov. 10 at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd of Olympia, 1601 North St. SE.
The cost is $30, and includes a copy of the book "Transforming Church Conflict: A Guide for Pastors and Leaders," written by Pastor Jaech. To register, contact Jaech directly at rickjaech@live.com or by phone at 360-254-9243 or 360-852-3267.
