These guidelines do not replace the site-wide rules, but rather clarify the rule "Congregational Forums wishing to remain safe havens may choose to limit debate to members of their own denomination, insist that all posts conform to their creed etc."
Therefore, posters in this forum and its subforums must post in conformance with all of the following:
The site-wide rules (http://christianforums.com/faq.php?faq=rules#faq_rule_0)
The congregation-wide guidelines (http://christianforums.com/showthread.php?t=6899690)
These forum-specific guidelines (FSGs)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scripture, Tradition, Reason (Anglican/Old Catholic) Forum
The Congregation-Wide Guidelines apply to this forum. They outline the basic membership and debate guidelines for this forum. Additional guidelines are explained below.
Additional guidelines on debate: none
Statement of Faith:
The Anglican and Old Catholic churches include many different provinces and communions worldwide who express a range of perspectives on different doctrines. Despite this breadth of thought within our Churches, and it is possible for them to coexist.
Anglicans don't have dogma: Anglican doctrine is inferred from praxis. The norm for Anglican praxis is the Book of Common Prayer, or alternative, as authorized for your Province or communion.
Anglicanism is generally tolerant of variant forms of worship. However, variants should not be promoted as being core Anglican norms. "Accepted by some Anglicans" is a true statement that should be used instead of "is the Anglican viewpoint" for matters not supported by the majority of authorized Prayer Books.
