Summary

Conflict is normal in human relationship. Although religious difference can be a contributing factor, religious teachings also inspire building bridges and reaching toward reconciliation. This chapter explores the field of conflict transformation, the role of religion in conflict, and strategies to navigate these spaces. Focused on skill-building rather than program design and facilitation, it introduces intercultural intelligence, narrative mediation, interest-based bargaining, and non-violent communication. Effective leadership requires self-awareness about our instinctive responses to conflict, so the chapter also presents the Thomas-Kilmann paradigm to help readers explore their reactions.
