Abstrakt

The author explores the way in which family systems theory is being used in the church to understand congregational dynamics, direct mediation efforts and clarify leadership issues. From a biblical/theological perspective he notes how this theory is consistent with and perhaps even illuminating of the Christian faith and where it departs from classical Christian understanding. He also explores the way in which spiritual disciplines provide important personal and corporate dimensions to healthy congregational life especially as that is seen through a family systems filter. Finally, his work suggests the value of educational experiences in affecting attitudes toward conflict.
