There is a growing demand for religion and spirituality in conflict resolution processes. Is this dangerous or praiseworthy, and how should we respond? The authors reviewed literature from conflict resolution, psychology, and law. They conclude that faith, religion, spirituality, and values: (1) can have a safe place in the process; (2) need to be a subject of expertise for conflict resolvers; and (3) should be understood through the self‐awareness work of being an ethical practitioner, regardless of their beliefs. The authors explore the implications of this for the self‐determination of parties and the legitimacy of third‐party roles.
