      %CONFLICT RESOLUTION IN GOD'S FAMILY PRESENCE 960229

     True  conflict  resolution and true peace-making  are
more   likely  to  occur  when  the  participants   regard
themselves  and  each   other  as all   members  of  God's
extended/inclusive  family,   who are carrying  out  their
honest peace-making efforts at resolving their conflicts--
-in the PRESENCE OF GOD.

     When  people  PRACTICE  THE PRESENCE OF  GOD  in  the
manner  of  Brother Lawrence,  they  are more likely to be
helpful peace-makers, than when they practice technologies
of prescriptions, proscriptions,  judgement, condemnation,
control, manipulation, punishment, etc.

     It  is  very difficult to be  respected  technocrats,
prescribers,   proscribers,  judgementalists,  condemners,
controllers,   manipulators  and/or punishers  within  the
context  of a community whose members are  PRACTICING  THE
PRESENCE  OF  GOD  as a community.   In such  a  community
appearances  are  not  of  much importance.    In  such  a
community  respect  is earned and enjoyed by really  being
true to self and others with personal integrity---building
a  community  which  enjoys  both  personal   and communal
integrity.
