What is the difference between mediation and consulting?
Church conflict can be resolved using mediation when every disputant or faction is willing to meet and seek
new solutions to conflict using the assistance of a neutral mediator from outside the congregation. Mediation
works when all parties earnestly desire reconciliation and agree to follow Biblical instruction. Mediation
involves following a deliberate, sequential process for conflict resolution.
When one party to a church conflict does not desire reconciliation or is unwilling to submit to the authority and
guidance of Scripture, consulting - not mediation - is the best option for resolving the conflict and restoring
congregational health and vitality.
