PFS training materials are based on conflict theory and concepts. By proactively identifying the systematic structure of a conflict, disputes can be rationally observed and strategically addressed. PFS seeks to diagnose the root causes of a dispute and compassionately promote a healthy resolve.
In religious and church settings, biblical concepts are merged with the conflict theory to promote Spiritual Peacebuilding.

someone to bring us together." (Job 9:33 NIV)
