ABSTRACT

Until recently, I was a full-time lay pastor for a church congregation that’s part of Reverend Moon’s Unification Movement. In this chapter I present a case study, taking you through a journey that I went on as I found faith in my life and then also found how useful counselling or psychotherapy can be in addition to that. It is also an account of how my family and I could overcome some of the dysfunctional conflict that we were experiencing. Conflict can often be healthy, but if it is not dealt with properly, it can become counter-productive. This story is about working out family conflict and the blessings that can spring from such efforts.
