Power is a reality that exists in our world and certainly in our conflicts. This assignment is to have you reflect and dig into your own personal power and discover the corporate power (Church) that exists.
Tasks:
In 550 words, respond to two of the following prompts, the first and one of the other three:
. Give your personal philosophy and theology of power. (Refer to Chapters 3 and 4 of your textbook The Dynamics of Conflict: A Guide to Engagement and Intervention for context and terminology on the philosophy. For theology of power, you will have to go outside the text.)
. What kind of power do you have?
. What kind of power does your church have?
. Describe the culture of your church and how it affects conflict.
