Christian Dispute Solutions

  Terry Sutter, M.A. 

Conflict may be inevitable, but its damaging effects can be minimized.

Christian mediation is a highly effective process for resolving conflict and settling disputes. This is true for conflict and disputes in the workplace, church, community, and family. The good news is that a high percentage of mediations are successful. When parties come together to negotiate in good faith and ask the Holy Spirit for guidance, they can usually find the best possible resolution for their dispute. Christian mediation is a peaceful biblical way for resolving conflict and avoiding expensive and destructive litigation. 



"The Bible is like a compass - it always points believers in the right direction"
 

Benefits of Christian Mediation:

  • Solutions can be creative in ways that are not possible in litigation
  • Solutions are mutually satisfactory – not simply a compromise
  • Mediation is not a win/lose situation, but rather it’s about cooperation, accommodation, and mutual respect.
  • Parties are empowered to create their own resolution rather than have one imposed on them by a judge or arbitrator
  • Mediation allows for restoring relationships when desired; and when preferred, it allows for the termination of relationships in an amicable manner
  • In mediation the focus is on the present and future, not mired in the past.
  • Mediation emphasizes what can be changed now to resolve the problem and what can be done in the future to keep it from reoccurring. Not dwelling on who did what to whom makes it easier to sustain relationships.
  • Mediation is confidential, which gives people the opportunity to work their differences out in private.
