Elaine Wynn is a United Methodist, a member of the Holston Annual Conference in Tennessee (a conference is a regional organizational unit in the United Methodist Church). She desires to seek ways in which restorative justice principles and conflict transformation practices can be furthered in her conference. In particular she discusses plans for a congregation-based Neighborhood Reconciliation Center – a safe sanctuary for people in conflict to seek resolution and transformation, individually and relationally.
