Workshop: Identifying Your Meeting's
Conflict Norms and Sanctions

Identifying Conflict Norms and Sanctions is much easier for a meeting if it is done at a time when the meeting is not dealing with a specific conflict. In fact, identifying the norms and sanctions that the meeting does embrace, and agreeing to change those that are not helpful for healthy conflict management may prevent a group from getting stuck in conflict.

Steps 3, 4, and 5 in "Meeting Problem-solving Process" will allow a Friends group to do this. As always, workshops should start and end with a time of worship.
