It is inevitable that Christians will have different views on issues, but disputes which break out into the public arena (through court or media) are a poor witness to a watching world, not to mention expensive. God's Word has much to say about this issue, and Resolve does an excellent job teaching this through its courses, training mediators, and mediating when needed.

Resolve has received some funding to run conflict resolution courses in a number of churches around the country and to reach out into the wider community.

New Zealand Christian Network will be actively encouraging churches that do not have a satisfactory resolution procedure to include Resolve in their agreements and constitutions. Even where good procedure exists, it may still be appropriate to have an independent external Christian agency, such as Resolve, involved.
