Fraternal/ Brotherly Correction

This article is not on fraternities, although another topic for mediation after medication and meditation. We deal today with the Gospel  reading from Matthew on brotherly correction, "...go and point out the fault to him, when the two of you are alone, and if he listens to you, you have won back your brother. If he doesn't listen to you, take with you one or two others, so the case may be decided by the evidence of two or three witnesses..."

Additional advice from The Greatest Mediator.  Nobody wants to be shamed in public, which is also told to parents bent on disciplining their children. But there are times the subject is not open, or worse, incorrigible.  So if the one-on-one caucus does not work with one disputant who may also lack goodwill,  the mediator can call the other side to gently persuade the first disputant to reason and com-promise.
