Discovering the gifts and talents of a community can truly be a blessing for any type of ministry, but bringing all these gifts together to discern and achieve a common goal can also be complicated. Collaboration requires a willingness to take part in a process of discernment and incorporate the elements of spirituality and prayer. Collaboration is also multidimensional, offering different models for getting people to work together within a parish setting. This course will provide an overview of these different models of collaboration as well as methods for working more effectively in community. (6 hours)

In all kinds of organizations and ministry groups, persons bring differing temperaments, communication styles, and ideas, often resulting in conflict. In some cases conflict can bring about positive change leading to fruitful collaboration, or it can negatively affect and even shut down the collaborative process altogether.
