Antagonism leaves in its wake broken lives: people who are hurt, discouraged, and apathetic. Although only a very few persons are antagonists, these individuals have the potential to disrupt and even destroy a congregation's mission and ministry. This study guide enables congregational boards, committees, and study groups, clergy convocations, judicatory boards, and other groups to discuss key questions, share experiences, and learn valuable skills for dealing with antagonism. Reflection questions, self-surveys, Bible study helps, and role-playing ideas help church leaders prevent or reduce much of the pain and suffering caused by antagonism.
