Leadership and Conflict in African Churches: The Anglican Experience investigates the
involvement of leadership and conflict in the African church. Mkunga H. P. Mtingele's previous
work with the government as a state attorney and his leadership positions in the Anglican
Church gave him sufficient exposure and experience to witness the increase of conflict arising
from leadership not only in the Anglican Church of Tanzania but also in other denominations
and organizations in Tanzania Africa and beyond. This book highlights and encourage people to
understand that conflict is a social phenomenon endemic and inevitable part of life the
causes of which must be comprehended. This book intends to get rid of the negative perception
which many people have that conflicts are an inherent menace which should be avoided. Conflict
is constructive or destructive depending on one's perception as well as the level it has
reached. Tools of analysis used can be applicable to different situations both in secular and
religious institutions organizations and governments. Leadership and Conflict in African
Churches is intended to contribute to and encourage a wider debate on conflict about
leadership. Scholars and general interest groups alike will find specific use in the areas of
management leadership conflict resolution theology religious studies and social research
methodology disciplines.
