I wanted to mention this tangential point just because I've seen examples recently where the opposite took place. The church was told about a person's sin, then the person was taken aside. He was humiliated and was told not to come back before he recanted what he did If the person had been taken aside privately first, then the person may have been more likely to repent (God only knows).
Fascinating and tragic. I can only imagine the pain and damage done by such insensitivity.
To be perfectly honest, I handled the situation, i.e., taking the offender to task, almost as badly as the original situation. Lord have mercy on me!
