What is the current model for conciliation among Christians and Christian organizations, and how well does it work? Faith-based conflict resolution is among the growing alternatives used by individuals and organizations to resolve disputes that would otherwise resort to the civil courts. Schlachter's talk will explore a biblically based model of dispute resolution and discuss who uses this model, why it serves faith-based communities better than alternatives, how it is effective and in what circumstances.

David D. Schlachter serves as the Vice President of Conciliation and Church Support for Peacemaker Ministries. He oversees delivery of mediation and arbitration services for the resolution of conflicts and disputes, and the delivery of conciliator training provided by Peacemaker Ministries. This includes foundational training for conciliators and advanced training through the Certification Program.

A Certified Christian Conciliator™ and University of Denver Law School graduate, Schlachter practiced law for 26 years in Denver, Colo., specializing in business, real estate and commercial litigation, before joining the Peacemaker Ministries staff. He has taught biblical peacemaking in his church, for Peacemaker Ministries and internationally in Cambodia and Tanzania. David has served as a mediator and arbitrator in numerous cases through Peacemaker Ministries, and has served on numerous boards of directors for other nonprofit organizations and ministries.

A short question-and-answer session will follow the lecture. This event is free and open to the public.

Sponsored by the University of Missouri School of Law, Center for Dispute Resolution, and Center on Religion & the Professions.
