Introduction
Reconciliation often involves two dimensions.
Personal issues may be dealt with through confession, correction, and forgiveness.
Material issues may be resolved through negotiation.
In most cases it is best to use a cooperative approach to negotiation, which seeks to find mutually beneficial solutions to common problems.

This process may be summarized as the “PAUSE Principle.”
