Christians are called to love others. But conflict is inevitable as long as people interact with one another. When we’ve been wronged, there are many options for redress. Some have the potential to heal and achieve meaningful resolution. Others ensure that the battle and resentment rage on for years. Lawyer Deborah Bennett Berecz will share insights regarding creative alternatives when experiencing conflict.
