A mediator is a peacemaker. He is called upon to
assist disputants in agreeing with each other. He can't tell them
what to do. Anyone can be a mediator. No degree or license is
required. Many people mediate without realizing that they are
engaged in mediation. Many are also ready to volunteer. And why
not?. The Bible tells us that "Blessed are the peacemakers for they
shall be called the children of God.." Shakespeare expressed a
similar sentiment. But he simply said, "Blessed
are the peacemakers on earth."
