The project studied a church which had experienced twenty years of conflict and apathy. The project researched and utilized intentional interim and conflict resolution methodologies. It included interviews with most members of the congregation, seminar training, and a weekend planning retreat. Issues of change and power were encountered. Original research was conducted into conflict resolution styles in the biblical narratives. The narrative of the project was written up in modified case study format. The project defends collaboration as a viable style of conflict management in churches, and provides valuable insights into the dynamics of longlived conflict in church groups.
