Anytime we long for something apart from God, fear something more than God, or trust in something other than God to make us happy, fulfilled, or secure, we worship a false god.

Ken Sande

Ken Sande (* 1955) ist ein US-amerikanischer Jurist, Autor und Mediator aus dem evangelikalen Spektrum, der 1982 die Organisation Peacemaker Ministries gründete. Bekannt wurde er durch sein Buch The Peacemaker sowie Modelle zur biblischen Konfliktbewältigung, die auf persönlicher Schuldanerkennung und Versöhnung beruhen. Während seine Leitfäden die christliche Seelsorge und Konfliktberatung nachhaltig prägen, wird an solchen Schlichtungsverfahren kritisiert, dass sie bei Machtmissbrauch und Gewalt zu Lasten des Schutzes von Betroffenen gehen können.
