Being in communion

Betty Pries lives in Waterloo, Ontario, with her husband, Paul Fieguth, and their children, Anya, Thomas, and Stefan. She is a mediator with Associates Resourcing the Church (ARC). When she tells people that she works with churches in conflict, she almost invariably gets one of two reactions: “No way—churches have conflict?†or “Wow, that must be challenging.†Immediately she knows whether the person with whom she is speaking attends church.
