While travelling interstate this last week, I met with a pastor who was seeking to facilitate a time of healing in his church which had been through a difficult time. Conflict and hurt can be profoundly painful for Christian communities for many reasons. The opportunity to bring some of these situations honestly and openly before God to ask for healing is important. Here are a couple of resources I have collected over the years which can be adapted and used in services of healing.
While researching teams in churches this week, I came across a free online resource written by Paul Beasley-Murray a well known Baptist pastor and academic in the UK. Paul is now the senior pastor of Chelmsford Baptist Church and has written a book on leading teams in larger churches. The book is made available through the TEAL Trust.
