To begin the session:
Distribute copies of the “Conflict Resolution” exercise from the activity page, which you can download here. Have learners work in pairs to complete the exercise as indicated. After sufficient time to do so, reconvene for whole-class discussion.
After the discussion, say, “Conflict is as old as humanity. Let’s see how one conflict recorded in the Bible was settled unselfishly.”
To encourage personal application:
Form participants into study triads. Then distribute copies of the “Creative Problem-Solving” activity from the activity page, which you can download, to discuss and complete as indicated. (Feel free to delete, add, or modify the questions and options in advance.)
After discussions in triads, reconvene for whole-class sharing. Encourage participants to share examples of issues they are still trying to resolve. Cautions: (1) don’t put anyone on the spot to share information that is too personal, and (2) stress that the sharing is a time for encouragement, not a time for “giving advice.”
