Within the Jamaican context many churches are split by conflict. Very often the response and attempts to resolve congregational conflict exacerbates the situation. This project thus focuses on a particular congregation, the issues that it faced during a recent episode of conflict, and attempts to achieve transformation, healing, and reconciliation. The congregation is analyzed using a family systems approach. The development and the application of a strategy to achieve the three-fold goal are explored. This strategy is guided by a school of conflict management called Conflict Transformation. This project explores the validity of the claims of this method when applied in the Jamaican context. The lessons learned are critical in charting strategies that are contextual.
