All Together Different

WHAT SOCIAL IDENTITY CAN TEACH US ABOUT CHURCH UNITYOur attempts to foster church unity typically don't turn out the way we'd hoped. Why? Because we fail to understand how community and identity interact. People form groups; it's part of what it means to be human. Once formed, groups come into conflict with each other--even within the church. It's not a question of if, but how. Simply focusing on our commonalities isn't enough. Trying to stop people from forming groups won't work. We need to get to the heart of the issue: identity.Drawing from Scripture and social identity theory, All Together Different will teach you what moves people from "us vs. them" to "we together," while maintaining diverse group identities. Whether you're dealing with racial tensions, gender divides, generational gaps, or cultural preferences, you'll learn how to promote unity and prevent conflict for the glory of God.
