Spiritual Practices and Perspectives of Negotiation - Scripture, Confessions and Polity

Some passages from Scripture and PCUSA’s Constitution you may want to consider and study as you encounter divisive conflict in the church. It may be helpful to study and reflect on these passages or portions of these passages individually or as group through the process of Lectio Divina. Additionally, you may want to consider if certain passages would be helpful to be read as part of the negotiation process. For example, you may choose to begin and end each negotiation session with certain passages.
