Description / Abstract
Why does conflict appear to be such a prevalent part of communication in our world today? Can we communicate without conflict? Why do many of us find it difficult to communicate about issues on which we disagree without being combative? Is it acceptable to have conflict in our communication? These are all questions I have pondered for the past twenty years. As I began teaching, at what was then, a small Midwestern Christian University, these questions came to the forefront for me as I tried to deepen my understanding of communication in my efforts to be a better teacher. I was delighted when I was one of several asked to share my thoughts on the topic at hand in a reflective scholarly essay. The project became even more exciting for me when we were asked to keep the writing conversational in nature. I have to admit I prefer writing with a conversational tone to some of the other methods of scholarly writing. I appreciate the writings of two dear Christian brothers, Em Griffin and Quentin Schultze, who use this approach well and write about communication in ways that my students found accessible and inviting. In an effort to address the topic at hand it might be helpful to first build a foundation by finding some common understanding of communication and conflict, second ask ourselves some key questions, third take a look at an example, and finally consider an approach for speaking the truth in love. Perhaps as we consider the items suggested, we can create a path to improved dialogue with all our partners in communication
