Abstract

This book is a systematic and comprehensive investigation into con fl icts in a multicultural congregation in an urban area in the UK. It provides a comprehensive account of con fl ict through ana-lysing and interpreting diverse types of con fl ict from a combined range of perspectives of anthropology, sociology and theology. It also profoundly explains the dynamics of con fl ict phenomena from a multidimensional perspective to understand the nature, scale and intensity of multifactorial and multifaceted con fl icts in the four con fl ict domains: interpersonal behavioural con fl ict, cul-tural con fl ict, theological con fl ict and political con fl ict. The most sig-ni fi cant contribution of this book is to establish a holistic model of handling diverse types of con fl ict for peace-making, peace-keeping and peacebuilding through employing con fl ict resolution, settlement, management and transformation in a multicultural con-gregational setting.
