1. Certificate in Christian Mediation & Arbitration Course(Also known as
Christian Mediator & Arbitrator Course)
Reflections on the Role of Secular Law and Christian Principles
Within the framework of our judicial system, it is undeniably the secular law that dictates the outcomes of legal cases. Such governance by state institutions is ordained by God, and it serves as a universal framework, embracing individuals from all walks of faith. This universality is commendable, and as Christians, it behoves us to respect and submit to these established authorities.
Yet, the Apostle Paul, in his profound wisdom, raises an important query in 1 Corinthians 6: Why do we, as Christians, resort to the judgment of a secular court when resolving our disputes, knowing that its verdicts may not necessarily echo the Christian ethos?
For those among us who yearn to navigate our disagreements in a manner resonant with Christian teachings, there exists a harmonious pathway. Paul illuminates a route where adherence to both secular law and Christian values is feasible. This alternative route entails the practice of mediation or binding arbitration. Here, disputing parties have the liberty to select mediators or arbitrators deeply rooted in Christian principles. These chosen individuals can then guide the resolution process, ensuring that it unfolds in a manner that not only adheres to the law but also upholds the sanctity and principles of the Christian faith.
In essence, while the secular law provides a broad framework for societal order, Christians are called to seek avenues that resonate more closely with their spiritual convictions, ensuring that justice is pursued in a manner that honours God and reflects the teachings of Christ.

Matthew 5:23-26
23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First, go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift. 25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny."
Matthew 18:15-20
15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector."

ARE THERE BIBLICAL ALTERNATIVES TO LITIGATION?
Indeed, while civil litigation remains a viable option for resolving legal disputes, the Bible encourages Christians to initially seek resolution through biblically grounded mediation or arbitration, as highlighted in Matthew 5:25, 18:15-20 and 1 Corinthians 6:1-8. This faith-based process is commonly known today as "Christian conciliation. As these Scriptures suggest, conflicts with primarily relational or straightforward legal aspects can often find resolution with the guidance of spiritually mature individuals within the local church. For more intricate matters involving complex legal, relational, or spiritual issues, the expertise of Certified Conciliators may be enlisted to provide professional alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services in alignment with biblical principles.
ADR approach has successfully resolved a diverse range of conflicts, including those related to contracts, business, employment, family and divorce, negligence, probate, intellectual property, sexual misconduct, church divisions, a
It's noteworthy that this process has garnered acceptance and affirmation from both Christians and non-Christians alike. Decisions reached through conciliation have received validation from federal and state courts, underscoring its effectiveness as a trusted method for resolving disputes.
1. What is Christian Conciliation?
"Christian Conciliation" refers to the formal resolution of disputes among Christians, avoiding recourse to secular courts. This approach encompasses both informal and formal methods such as mediation and arbitration, along with the consideration of church discipline when deemed appropriate. This article will primarily focus on formal mediation and arbitration as these closely resemble secular court processes and are recognized by secular judicial authorities.
The practice of Christian Conciliation is rooted in biblical mandates found in Matthew 18:15 and 1 Corinthians 6:1–8. In these passages, the Apostle Paul admonishes believers, particularly the Corinthians, for bringing their disputes to secular courts. The biblical guidance provides valuable insight into how God desires conflicts among believers to be resolved. The prescribed process involves: (1) attempting to resolve the dispute through discussion between the parties (Matt. 18:15), (2) if unsuccessful, involving others in a mediation process (Matt. 18:16), and (3) if mediation fails, appointing a judge from among the faithful for arbitration (1 Cor. 6:4). Additionally, the final step may involve church discipline (Matt. 18:17).
Christian Conciliation thus represents a multi-step approach for resolving conflicts among believers in accordance with biblical principles.
2. Validity of Arbitration Clauses.
Arbitration clauses have historically received judicial validation, with courts actively promoting their use for the resolution of personal disputes. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, in the notable case of Weeks v. Harden Mfg. Corp. (2002), affirmed the right of employers to mandate that employees sign agreements designating arbitration as the exclusive method for resolving legal claims.
In the Weeks case, a manufacturing company, through newly distributed employee handbooks, included a provision requiring all claims against the company to be resolved through arbitration. The agreement explicitly emphasized the voluntary and knowing waiver of the right to a jury trial, either through arbitration or a court action initiated by the company. When certain employees declined to sign these agreements, they were terminated, leading to a legal challenge. The district court, while granting summary judgment in favor of Harden on most counts, acknowledged the employees' retaliation claim. The court drew support from precedents affirming that disputes involving federal statutes could be subject to arbitration if the contract explicitly dictated so. This aligns with earlier Supreme Court decisions, such as Mitsubishi Motors Corp. v. Soler Chrysler-Plymouth, Inc. (1985), Gilmer v. Interstate/Johnson Lane Corp. (1991), and Circuit City Stores, Inc. v. Adams (2001), which upheld the validity of arbitration clauses in various contexts. Building upon these influential rulings, the 11th Circuit concluded that requiring employees to sign arbitration agreements did not constitute an unlawful employment practice, rendering the plaintiffs' belief unreasonable. Consequently, churches and non-profits seeking to resolve employment disputes through Christian arbitration can mandate employees to sign arbitration agreements as a condition of employment. Furthermore, securing the enforceability of such agreements may be enhanced by offering employees some form of financial consideration or value in exchange for their agreement. This prudent approach increases the likelihood of these agreements being deemed legally binding.
3. Christian Conciliation Upheld in the Courts.
Enforcement of Christian mediation/arbitration clauses has been decisively affirmed in various recent cases, highlighting the recognition of these clauses in legal contexts. Notably, the Federal District Court of Colorado upheld an arbitration agreement in accordance with the Rules of Procedure for Christian Conciliation in the case of Encore Productions, Inc. v. Promise Keepers, 53 F. Supp. 2d 1101. Here, Promise Keepers, a Christian organization, entered into a service contract with Encore Productions, stipulating that any related claims or disputes would be settled through mediation and, if necessary, binding arbitration under the Rules of Procedure for Christian Conciliation.
When disputes arose, Encore Productions sought resolution in secular courts, but Promise Keepers insisted on the enforcement of the Christian mediation/arbitration clause. The court dismissed Encore's arguments, emphasizing that if unsatisfied with arbitration, the parties could seek a court hearing. Moreover, the court rejected the notion that resorting to Christian Conciliation impeded employees' religious rights, noting that both parties willingly agreed to resolve disputes in this manner, demonstrating a voluntary waiver of litigation rights.
Similarly, the case of Woodlands Christian Academy v. Weibert (2010 Tex. App. LEXIS 8107) further exemplifies the efficacy of Christian Conciliation clauses. In this instance, a Christian school invoked a Christian Conciliation process specified in an employment contract's arbitration clause. The court, after the teacher's termination and subsequent lawsuit, upheld the arbitration agreement, emphasizing the parties' Christian beliefs and their commitment to resolving disputes through Biblically-based mediation and, if necessary, binding arbitration.
The Federal Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals further reinforced the validity of Christian arbitration in Prescott v. Northlake Christian School, 141 Fed.Appx. 263. In this case, a Christian school incorporated Christian Conciliation rules into an employment agreement, leading to a dispute that was arbitrated according to these principles. The court affirmed the arbitrator's decision, highlighting that the use of Biblical references, specifically Matthew 18, was within the agreed-upon terms and enforceable. The court, relying on Montana law, held that a secular court cannot overturn an arbitration award merely because it might differ from a decision that the court itself could have made.
This legal landscape suggests that churches and non-profits can effectively employ Christian Conciliation to resolve disputes, securing enforcement in secular courts. However, caution is advised, especially in sensitive cases such as child custody disputes. In Miller v. Miller (423 Pa. Super. 162, 1993), the Superior Court of Pennsylvania refused to enforce an arbitrator's decision regarding child custody in a divorce case, highlighting the paramount importance of considering the rights of independent third-parties, in this case, the children.
While courts may generally uphold Christian Conciliation agreements, there are limitations. In Southern California District Council of the Assemblies of God, Inc. v. Sonlite Tabernacle (Cal. App. 2 Dist., unpublished decision, March 27, 1992), a California Court of Appeals declined to enforce a church's by-laws requiring arbitration due to concerns about the neutrality of the arbitrator specified in the by-laws. The court emphasized the need for impartiality and integrity in arbitration agreements, cautioning against parties acting as arbitrators in their own disputes. In summary, the precedent suggests that Christian Conciliation can be a powerful tool for dispute resolution, provided that agreements are carefully crafted, parties fully understand the terms, and arbitrators maintain a high standard of impartiality and integrity.
2. CERTIFICATE IN FOREIGN TRADE, TRAVEL & FUND
"Invest your money in foreign trade, and one of these days you will make a profit. 2Put your investments in several places — many places, in fact — because you never know what kind of bad luck you are going to have in this world." Ecclesiastes . 11:1 Good News Bible
Thirukkural is a well-known treatise on ethics which was authored by Thiruvallavar in the second century BC. It is considered to be the first work which covers ethics in Indian (Tamil) literature. In presenting the business ethics from the Thirukkural, the authors employed hermeneutics, a qualitative methodology which is the interpretation of ancient or classical literatures. The findings reveal that Thirukkural advocates a consciousness and a spirit-centered approach to the subject of business ethics based on eternal values and moral principles that should govern the conduct of business leaders. The prospect of highlighting the Thirukkural in other areas like leadership can be considered for the near future.
