City Pages Article- One Step Further

There was an awesome article in the City Pages a couple weeks ago about rival "girl gangs" in North Minneapolis.  While reading it, I was renewed in the hope that conflicts can be resolved.  What I know from experience, however, is that conflicts can also brew under the surface, remaining hidden, until something triggers action.

I see a tremendous opportunity to utilize the circle process for these girls.  To continue the healing that began with the death of a charismatic young woman.  To expand their understanding of each other and build on their shared experiences.  To establish and maintain community.

Here is a link to the story:
