Spirit in Conflict: Introduction
Interviews with people who work with
conflict
about the spiritual foundations of
their work.
A research process done by Michael
Bischoff
Interviews:
Emily Hughes | Abdul-Hakim
As-Siddiq | George
Lakey | Marcelle
Martin
Introduction | Reflections
on the Research Process
Introduction:
Come on in! Please come in and help me explore the
following question:
How do people who work with conflict find and
identify a spiritual foundation for their work?
For this project, I have interviewed four people who
work, in different ways, with conflict and peacemaking. I
chose to interview these individuals because I believe they
each connect with God as they work in ways I would like to
learn from. I see these web pages as one part of ongoing dialogue about spirituality and conflict. I invite you to
email me and
join that discussion.
I asked each person I interviewed about metaphors that
would describe their spiritual foundations for the work they
do. The images you will see on these web pages are photo
montages based on these metaphors and snapshots of each
person.
In addition to personal spiritual foundations, I am also
interested in how the organizations and communities we are a
part of nurture and hinder our connection to that divine
source. In these interviews, you will hear about personal
disciplines as well as organizational practices that relate
to their spiritual lives.

From an interview with George
Lakey
I said, "When you go to a football match, what do
you do?" And he said "Well I scream my bloody head off. That
is why we all go really." I said, "That's it! That's what
you need to do as a facilitator."
[more]
I remember one guy I had known for a long time and we had
a lot of mutual respect was so furious that I thought he was
going to come over and punch me in the meeting.
[more]
In fact it is a prayer that has never not been answered.
100 percent results. Here it is, at no extra charge.
[more[
"If you can keep your head while all about you people are
loosing there's, you don't understand the situation."
[more]
Yeast has been a very powerful metaphor for me. It
reassures me that even a small part can make a
difference--that quickening, that fermenting, that tastiness
offered by a small minority. As far as my actions are
Spirit-led, that can make a difference in a much larger
thing that doesn't seem to be acting in consistency with
Spirit.
[more]
From an interview with Marcelle
Martin:
The parable of the sowing of the seeds is a metaphor
for a lot of things I do. God just distributes seeds
everywhere; on the rocky soil and the good soil. Being at
our prayer vigil is just distributing the seeds
everywhere--our prayer for peace, our witness for peace. You
never know where they are going to grow. For me, the primary
message is "Turn to God, there is a peaceful way. You don't
have to have to resolve horrible conflicts with bombs. In
fact, bombs are just going to make more violence."
[more]
I was really moved one day, and the women who said it to
me was moved when she said it to me, "you changed my
thinking about white people."
[more]
That experience I had in response to prayer was
extraordinary. It was like experiencing heaven.
[more]
One Christmas morning at 5:00, there was a knock on our
door and this woman who lived several houses down the street
said "My house is on fire and my telephone doesn't work." It
turns out that what was happening was more than a fire.
[more]
From an interview with Emily
Hughes
One image for my spiritual foundation is of a
coyote, a trickster. The reason I am thinking about that
trickster image is because it is incredibly free,
resourceful, and creative. It is the access point for
drawing out that of God--that of creativity and goodness and
life.
[more]
For me, thinking about being a coyote in terms of
oppression issues is part of me trying to figure out how I
follow the example of Jesus, and that is a really spiritual
quest.
[more]
We are really shy about the Spirit-led direction of our
organization. It seems like we only talk about it in our
fund appeals! It is also scary to me because I worry about
what other people would think about us who are outsiders.
[more]
What I am realizing more and more is that there are
stories I need to tell. It seems like that is the thing that
is pulling me on the most. They take a little while to
ripen. I'm a young'en!
[more]
From an interview with Abdul-Hakim
As-Siddiq
What I am doing is opening doors for others to
follow behind me. I sat in prison for twenty years, and I
did a lot of things to better my life and straighten out my
life. Other guys are using the same pattern I am using to
get out the door too.
[more]
I was like an eagle who selects his meal from the sky.
Before incarceration, my heart was hard as a stone and twice
as cold.
[more]
As I was driving to work. I passed this guy on the street
who was waving his arms at me, but I didn't recognize him.
[more]
I am moving from where I was to another dimension, from
prison to Mecca, from prison to a freedom of the mind.
