Intro
1st Presbyterian Church in Pittsburg:
A conflict arose with one man.
He and his family left the church.
At school the young daughter told her friends she no longer was a Christian,
The child had been catechized in that church, this was their church home and church family.
That child grew up and had a family of her own.
This woman was known as Madalyn Murray O’Hair.
Founder and President of the American Atheist activists group
She was known for the lawsuit Murray vs. Curlett, which fought against mandatory prayer and Bible reading in schools.
The removal of prayer from school ca be traced back to a church conflict
A church in conflict needs to handle that conflict carefully.
God’s people need to handle conflict carefully, especially issues of Doctrine.
This is the same meeting discussed in
How to turn a disagreement into a feud:
1. Be sure to develop and maintain a healthy fear of conflict, letting your own feelings build up so you are in an explosive frame of mind.
2. If you must state your concerns, be as vague and general as possible.
Then the other person cannot do anything practical to change the situation.
3. Assume you know all the facts and you are totally right.
