New Congregation Forum

[Letalis]

Hi everyone,

This is the new forum for moderate Christians based on this request:

http://foru.ms/t6327406

PM me if you have any questions or concerns. I'll try to get some mods assigned here temporarily to help during transition. You're going to want to get started on rules/guidelines and membership.

Enjoy the new forum! :)

Blessings,
Letalis

So - who's up for moderators?

Trekkie - you scamp - you ran out on me!!

Mmm, I don't know. I'm been a mod and/or admin on several other boards, but I hesitate to do it here. My style is more free form and I don't know that I could get along with the heavily rules-based way things are done here.

Wouldn't mind giving it a go if people are agreeable.
Was going to volunteer at CC - but was scared off!

But - if you need people - am willing to try.

[NewGuy101]

I thin you guys should start thinking about some of your rules and statement of beliefs.

[higgs2]

Thanks Letalis! :)

[chaoschristian]

Wow. That was fast. Thank you.

[chaoschristian]

Started a stub wiki for the forum here (http://foru.ms/t6336765-wiki-moderate-christians.html#post40204284).

[higgs2]

I vote we use the rules we talked about in the "ask for a forum" thread, and let's *not* have statements of beliefs. Anyone with me on this?

PS: Nm, I found it.:doh:

Oh, snap! Sorry, I just started a thread discussing such things. Maybe I spoke out of turn.

No, not at all.

Let's move th' party over to Willtor's thread.

[Willtor]

No, not at all.

Ah, thanks, CC!

All that said, if I _am_ way off base, feel free to tell me, "Will, you're wrong, you're stupid, and your mother dresses you funny!" ;)

[chaoschristian]

You're wearing a kilt man, your mother does dress you funny.

[Willtor]

Oh noes! I'm getting fashion advice from a guy dressed as a fool!

I know this forum hasn't hashed out the details of membership, but can people be dual membershipped (is that a word...membershipped?..:) ) Anyway, I am a member at ccc, but feel that I would definately want to be a part of this area as well...:)

I don't think that will be a problem here Lamb. :hug: Sooo good to have you here!

Soooo. When do we start actively recruiting from the other two forums and marginalize 'em? j/k ^_^

I think I am still a member at CC too :)

I was thinking the same thing.

[Freedom&Light]

I'm a member of WWMC, too...I don't know why we couldn't have dual- citizenship. :) But it all might change as this grows.

[~*Lady Trekki*~]

Hi edie! :wave: :hug:

I seriously doubt that this forum will have a rule that limits membership in that way. :)

Welcome! :hug:

[BelindaP]

I'd have a falling-down temper tantrum if we didn't allow dual-membership. Just about everybody has at least one moderate belief.

[GreenMunchkin]

Ooooh :clap::clap::clap:

I certainly hope not. I have WWMC membership and also applied to CC, since I have both liberal and conservative views, depending on the issue. CC has a no WWMC rule, so I had to withdraw my application. But here we can all get together. Coolness! :)

Congrats on your new forum, guys. May God bless all of you :)

[CelticGrace]

Thanks for creating this, Letalis! And thanks to whoever it was who started the thread in the New Forums forum (I'm too lazy to go over and look ^_^)... this will definitely be my new home (aside from WD).

Hi Mac! :hug: Yay!

[chaoschristian]

Very simply, it is wrong to put restrictions on membership based one's membership status with another congregational forum.

This is an ecumenical, not denominational, forum, and will be drawing on people from many different faith traditions.

I agree

Also - should we start (and sticky) a membership thread where folks can sign in and we have a "formal list?"

I do recommend doing this. That way, when you elect mods, I can determine who should be voting and who shouldn't. Without it, anyone can vote on your applications, which is fine if you're alright with that, but just a heads up.

[CelticGrace]

yup I think this is a good idea, for exactly the reason Letalis stated.

:eek: a liberal! *runs around in circles, waving arms wildly*

Oh, wait. Wrong forum. Hi, Rochir. :)

^_^ And here's another one! It's an invasion now!

[BelindaP]

That's OK. We have some conservatives in the other thread. It balances out.

[Criada]

Where's the report button....

[Criada]

Can cope with liberals, but invisible cats are definitely banned!!

:hug: OW!

[Pogue]

I thought I ate the invisible cat!

[Criada]

Ah - sorry.
Memory going...

(Still haven't worked out where that fits in to vegetarianism...even liberal vegetarianism...)

[MrJim]

I thought I ate the invisible cat!

DOAN BOTHR TEH INVISABLE KATS, THEY WATCH OVAR TEH FORUM

[Pogue]

BUT THEY CANNOT WATCH IF THEY IS EATEN! ESPECIALLY by Librul Vegetarianz!

[Criada]

Quick, throw out the librul vegetarian!!!

Our cats are in danger!

[Pogue]

I eats teh moderate cats, teh librul cats, AND teh conservative cats. I not picky.


What am I even talking about now? Has madness finally taken over? :tutu:

[BelindaP]

I guess I'll just have to leave my cats at home when I visit here. :P

BTW - I'll get a couple of stickies started. One for you to leave your names on, the other containing the list. Okay with everyone? When you name is added, the post will be deleted and so you will get an automated pm advising you that your name has been added.


ummmm - get that?!

[edb19]

^_^ And here's another one! It's an invasion now!


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :swoon::P:swoon:^_^:swoon:


seriously - I'd have to quit associating with at least half of my relatives if that were an issue with me.

Heretic!!

[Willtor]

What?! Invisible cats?! Does invisible cats has a flavor?

[GreenMunchkin]

Taste a bit like beefz.

[edb19]

Heretic!!

probably.

I'd like cats better if they didn't rub on my legs - I could be in a room with 19 cat lovers and one cat - of the 20 available people he'd choose me to rub up against.

[BelindaP]

Ain't it the truth. I have the same problem with dogs.

And dog rubbing is much more irritating. ;)

Hi. May I join? I'm struggling with a place to belong. This is the nearest one I can find that fits who I am.

[PreachersWife2004]

There's no membership list anymore, so feel free to post here if you'd like.

We welcome you!!

[mountainmaiden]

Thank you!

[jamescarvin]

I liked the name of this forum. I wonder what the people visiting this place view as "moderate" or "bridge-building" ?

I am just exploring the board at this time, looking for fruitful places to be.
