Peacemaker ministries

Founded in 1982, Peacemaker Ministries is a non-profit, nondenominational ministry whose mission is to equip and assist Christians and their churches to respond to conflict biblically. They partner with people in conflict and help them navigate their conflict and heal their relationships. Peacemaker Ministries' vision is to equip and assist every Christian and every church in the world to respond to conflict biblically.

Peacemaker Ministries offers a variety of training options: For those seeking to reconcile broken relationships, they offer the Path of a Peacemaker to learn a conversational approach to biblical reconciliation. For those who want to help others find peace and reconcile, they offer conflict coaching and mediation training. For those who want peace but are unable to reconcile with the person(s) in the conflict, they offer Living Reconciled, how to find peace in the midst of your most difficult relationships. Training is offered through live training events, webinars, online courses, and custom training retreats.

Conflict Frontiers Seminar Series from Beyond Intractability

Conflict Frontiers was developed from a concern about the increasing number and intensity of intractable conflicts around the world, such as the Cold War, the Middle East, etc. The Conflict Frontiers Seminar, available on YouTube and Vimeo, looks at "frontier-of-the-field issues" - particularly scale and complexity and how to deal effectively with the challenges those factors create. 

The course starts by examining the nature of intractability and why business-as-usual conflict resolution approaches don’t work well for these kinds of conflicts. After exploring the implications of complex systems on conflict analysis and intervention, the course suggests a complexity-oriented approach to intractability called Massively Parallel Peacebuilding (MPP). The second part of the course fleshes out what MPP means and how it can be applied. The course then examines "first-order make-a-difference actions" which are actions intended to directly alter the course of the conflict, and second-order actions, which are those intended to overcome the obstacles to successfully taking the first order actions. The course ends with a discussion of how to move forward and apply these principles in “the real world.”
