Thanks for this link, Rich - very helpful from a pastoral and devotional perspective, I think.
That opening line from the abstract, incidentally, is a pretty succinct statement of my own approach to conflict - I usually assume that the person who jumps so easily to accusations against others is probably guilty of transference so, crudely put, I normally take sweeping accusations on the basis of rather tendentious "analysis" of evidence as tantamount to an admission of guilt.
Makes for a fun way to see the world - "he who yells loudest, has most to hide"
Blessings,
Murray
