Step
6: Assemble the Conciliators
"If any of you has a dispute with another, dare he take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the saints?" 1 Corinthians 6:1
Explanation: If your brother accepts your invitation ask the leaders of your church to go ahead and appoint a panel of three trained lay believers to help you. If you and your brother attend two different churches form a joint conciliation panel made up from teams from both congregations. Their spiritual gifts and experience in life will provide wisdom. These conciliators will in turn appoint a Chief Conciliator to initiate and schedule the meetings with you and your brother. Using your peers to assist you in resolving your conflict eliminates "church politics." The "body of Christ" heals itself in a spiritual exercise of faith.
