Conflict Resolution Project Outline

The Plan

This outline forms the basis of the final project. While not a concrete form, it is to provide a working guideline of the intended power point on the issue of Christianity in the secular education workplace.

Opening –

The Issue Introduced

In the world of education, participants have a multitude of roles. However, all these professional roles do not usurp the role of simply being the person the educator is. With emphasis on diversity in the workplace, and sensitivity to others, there has been a trend to be more tolerant of minority religiosity – paganism, wiccan, Islam, and others are to be recognized and tolerated. What, one may ask, of Christianity. For those who are practicing Christians, in the public school workplace, the tolerance toward practicing their faith has been dissolving, even denigrated – a far cry from the days when attendance at a Church was mandatory for teaching contracts. This discord creates conflict in the workplace, and within the individual, as Christian warriors address the very real spiritual battle taking place every day in our schools.

Part one – They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world (John 17:14, KJV).

Part two – In the world ye shall have tribulation (John 16:33, KJV)

Part three – speak to the world those things which I have heard of him (John 8:26, KJV)

Conclusion – The battle is real; the law is clear; the conflict is eternal . . . “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matthew 5:14-16, KJV).
