The Blessings of Congregational Conflict, Rev. Dr. Terasa Cooley, February 4, 2024

Anyone who has endured messy and bitter conflicts in a congregation may not be able to see how there could be an opportunity of a blessing in the midst of the pain. But conflicts will inevitably occur and it is possible to learn new ways of approaching them that can allow for growth and learning, and even transformation.  Rev. Cooley is a lifelong Unitarian Universalist and has served as a minister for over 30 years in both congregational and denominational settings. She is an Accredited Interim Minister and faculty of the Interim Minister's Network, and currently serves as the Developmental Minister at the First UU Church of Columbus, OH.
