CHRIST FOR US: Dispute Resolution

Holy Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions declare that all things within the Christian congregation should be done in a spirit of Christian love, be ordered ethically, and in accord with God’s Word. Speakers addressed both the doctrinal foundations and the practical realities of adjudication, reconciliation, and pastoral care in times of conflict, offering clarity and encouragement to congregations seeking to navigate disputes in a God‑pleasing manner.
