| dc.description.abstract | This study addresses itself in finding ways and means resolve conflicts using a cooperative and collaborative approach. The study attempts to formulate principles of zediation which the church and other parties can use to nake peace. A basic assumption is that the world more generally uses confrontation. This case study has proved that the origins of the tribe and of the Methodist church in Kenya arose out cf conflicts which needed to be resolved. The study compares the Western and the African way of decision—making, and the modern civil and traditional systems of conflict resolution. Findings reveal that the former is more adversarial, ending in courtroom contests, while the latter uses group consensus, ending in group harmony. The study proposes recommendations such as the following for implementation : 1. Open mediation centres; 2. Provide other avenues for conflict resolutions; 3. Proper church courts be established; 4. Peace and reconciliation departments be established; 5. Introduce "peace and peace—making" as part of the curriculum in our schools, colleges and universities; and, 6. Enact laws on mandatory mediation. | |
