What can you do when a relationship between fellow Christians is strained? While you can pray for them, you may also be in a position to bring them together to try to overcome the tensions. If training with Bridge Builders has given you an appetite for practical peace-making, and you want to be equipped to mediate between individuals, then the Mediating Interpersonal Conflicts course is for you.

Building on what is learnt during the Bridge Builders’ foundation course, Transforming Church Conflict, this five-day residential course offers a thorough grounding in interpersonal mediation. The course will introduce you to a carefully-structured process that you practise step by step. Focusing on transforming conflicts among Christians, the skills that you learn can also be used wherever there is a role, formal or informal, for intervention by a third party mediator.  The course will be particularly relevant for anyone who wants to be part of a local or regional mediation team in their denomination.
