| Σύνοψη: | This study investigates the notion that congregations act as subcultures which impact their members’ approaches to daily life conflict resolution and decision-making. Fourteen interviews of churchgoers from two congregations in New England were conducted to gain insight into how Catholics and Baptists differ in their approaches to conflict resolution and decision-making in daily life situations and how those approaches are impacted by the ecclesiology of the respective congregations. This study finds that the major differences between the churchgoers’ approaches to conflict resolution and decision-making are the values to which they adhere. It is concluded that those values are a result of each congregation acting as a subculture which has been formed by the importance of hierarchy, global and local focus, and, especially, the role of the church in each congregation. The study also finds that the relationship between church leadership and churchgoers is stronger in the Baptist congregation. |
