- Zusatztext
- Destructive and violent conflicts in Tanzanian Christian families motivated to do this research. As part of a conceptual study of conflict and Conflict Transformation the author conducted interviews with lay and clergy leaders of the ELCT and supplemented these data with statistical material collected from a few selected congregations. The study reveals the contextual theological, social, and cultural dynamics of conflicts within these families and shows that there is a need for an pastoral care and counselling approach that includes work on systemic causes of conflict in the family and that empowers people for transformation.
