What type of action is taken by your group? I think that conflict resolution is one of the very most important aspects of any true community. Every book I've read on community, from Scott Peck to Shaffer and Anundsen, discuss it at some length. Whenever two or more people get together there will eventually be conflict. How that conflict is resolved determines what type of relationship is present, and if that conflict is resolved with compassion, true community is present. For conflict resolution to work, the parties involved must agree that the relationship is valuable to them and that they are willing to attempt to resolve the conflict compassionately in order to strengthen it. If you don't have this agreement, the process is in deep trouble. But if you do, you can simply remind the parties of what they have agreed to and encourage them to reflect on that and respect it. We wrote up conflict resolution procedures which we really haven't used yet, but which I'd be happy to share with you. Request via email (will arrive not-so-nicely formatted) or snail mail by sending me a SASE.
