Question for the Mods...

[intheway]

I have been asking questions here and reading posts in order to understand more fully the Episcopal and Anglican belief system.
What really disturbs me the most though is how the liberal members can post freely about how all are free from sin and push homosexuality, abortion, feminism, evolution, etc. with impunity. However when conservatives speak out against this and hold to fundamentalist positions that the Anglican church specifically held for hundreds of years (and all churches catholic held to for nearly 2000 years) they are shut down. Why is this?
Note: This seems to be the case on all the boards, not just the Anglican.

friend intheway,

This is my first post since I became a mod here at STR, and the following is not an official mod statement. I have been reading here for a year or so, and I have seen many discussions. I do not remember a discussion about abortion, feminism or evolution taking place, let alone allowing the "liberals" to post and shutting dowm the "conservatives." There have been more than a few discussions of homosexuality here. as long as the discussion stays within CF rules, both sides are heard. when either a "liberal" or "conservative" poster steps over that line, the moderators take the necessary steps to return the discussion to these rules.

The charge you seem to be making that the "liberals' are allowed to push these topics with impunity is not born out by the facts.
The moderation of STR is very even handed and fair. Hotly discussed topics have often resulted in closed topics due to rule violations. These closures are notagenda driven.

Use the issues you are concerned with as terms to search the threads here and do some reading before deciding that there is moderator favoritism.

The EarlyChurch had Bishops, the Eucharist, and the Liturgy.
They did not have uniform beliefs or the Bible.

When folks claim to have the Bible and uniform beliefs, and don't understand why we are different, they are simply revealing their own ignorance of Christianity. My question to them is where is your Bishop, Eucharist, and Liturgy?

The simple reason is this: In my experience, more often than not, those people who you percieve as 'liberals' and 'pushing the homosexual agenda' are doing so within the rules of Christian Forums. Those who are taking up the 'conservative' stance often end up flaming or breaking other Christian Forums rules. Moderators are required to moderate to the rules, rather than to our own feelings and/or prejudices.
