CHRISTIAN CONCILIATION

Disputes between Christians hinder our relationships with God,

undermine vital ministries, sap energy from our labors for

Christ, and weaken families. Are we allowing unresolved

conflict to rob us of our testimony? Are we giving the world

another reason to mock the church and limit our effectiveness in

ministry?

In Minnesota, we are privileged to have a number of local

attorneys who have received advanced training in Christian

Conciliation. These attorneys stand ready to assist you and your

5

congregation in all areas of Christian Conciliation. They can be

utilized to work with individuals or businesses involved in a

private dispute or could even work within your church

leadership to restore broken relationships and facilitate unity.

They can also help teach Biblical peacemaking principles to

large or small groups.

We urge you to contact one of the attorneys listed in the

Christian Conciliation practice section of this Directory to find a

qualified person to assist you. Helpful information about

Christian Conciliation is also available online at the

Peacemaker® Ministries website: http://www.peacemaker.net.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

The attorneys listed in this Directory are Christian attorneys in

Minnesota who have agreed to have their names included for

referral purposes.

Each attorney listed in this Directory has signed the following

Statement of Faith:

“Trusting in Jesus Christ as my Savior, I believe in:
