“it is impossible to understand human behaviour without considering the role that groups play in people’s lives” (eg families, friendship groups, ‘cliques’, faith small groups etc) Levine & Moreland

“As a sociological reality the church reflects the political intrigue, bureaucratic development, social stratification, class conflicts and boredom that occur in all institutions...” (J Cobble)

Cohesion and conflict Cohesion ‘Conflict’

But is this really the complete Cohesion and conflict Cohesion ‘Conflict’ But is this really the complete continuum?

Cohesion and conflict ‘Conflict’ Uniformity Disunity Cohesion

David Kipris: psychology of the powerful. They tend to: 1. devalue the performance of the less powerful, 2. discount motives for good in actions by the less powerful, 3. instead claim credit for themselves as the chief influence for such actions, 3. view the less powerful as objects of manipulation.

Original ‘Groupthink’ symptoms (Irving Janis) Type I, group’s overestimation of itself, including illusion of the group’s invulnerability belief in its intrinsic morality Type II, closed mindedness, including stereotyping of out-groups Type III, pressure toward uniformity, including illusions of a unanimity in the group direct pressure on dissenters

Key inputs from Christian theology Our flawed natures Community at the heart of reality The priority of love over all gifts, tendencies and powers The necessity of transparency to human flourishing - ‘truth-speaking and truth-being’ The illusory nature of power

(Contributions are equally welcome from within a Christian theology It has been said that we should fully take account of the place of ‘human motivation, moral values and beliefs’ in trying to understand social interaction. How far can we go along with this claim? 2. What practical measures might enable a group to find the balance between the extremes of ‘uniformity’ and ‘disunity’? (Contributions are equally welcome from within a Christian theology perspective or from outside of it)
