Chris,
Reconciliation between True Believers is a very wonderful thing. It can restore Peace to the heart and joy in the Fellowship. Where it is possible, reconciliation should always be chosen rather than conflict. In order for there to be an effective reconciliation the parties involved in the dispute need to become good listeners and then peace can be restored.
