[Marycita]

oo that's handy :)

[vle045]

Your guestbook link doesn't work Kristen.

[Kristen.NewCreation]

Hmm... someone sent it to me... I can't get my own link. :( Red... could you get my guestbook link and edit the OP?

[Redheadedstepchild]

Done! Cool idea Kristen. :)

[GraceSeeker]

You might add Cavell to the list, though he doesn't participate in much of the rest of the WP, he does make a semi-regular devotional post that I at least, and maybe others, have come to rather look forward to.

MoeSyzslak and sinner/SAVED are two others who I see active in various threads in the WP.

[Kristen.NewCreation]

Done! Cool idea Kristen. :) Thank you!

Awesome. They are now added. :D

[Speculative]

I don't get it. What's this for? And how was it determined who is and isn't a "member" of WP?

[Kristen.NewCreation]

I don't get it. What's this for? And how was it determined who is and isn't a "member" of WP?
It's just to give us a quick way to send a pm or post in the guestbook for those who are fairly active in WP.

[vle045]

I'd love to see stuff in my guestbook... and my PM box is always open.

And if anyone is on Myspace, I'd be glad to add you to my page!

[cristianna]

Thank you for doing this Kristen. It really is a great way to try to contact our WP friends who seem to have gone missing.

There are some names I think should be added such as Kryzoz, Morgaine1205, TPony and another or two that's on the tip of my tongue. Who will do updates? And can we make this a sticky?

[Kristen.NewCreation]

It can be stickied. Any WP mod can edit it.

Interesting, because it looks very much like a vehicle to indicate exclusion of those who are not the "right kind" of Wesleyans.

[Kristen.NewCreation]

That is not at all how it is meant to be, nor should it be interpreted that way.

Frequently members participating in this forum will be gone for a while and then it requires hunting for a thread to find them or hunting through the membership list to drop them a note.

This list does not require a statement of membership to WP - it's just a list of CF members who participate fairly regularly here.

[Redheadedstepchild]

:(

I'm confused and a little upset by this. I don't mean to be confrontational, but what are you basing this on? We don't exactly have a history of being exclusionary. What is the "right kind" of Wesleyan anyway? :scratch: I think of this forum as place where everyone is welcome, and to me this thread is a way of continuing the sense of community that I think we enjoy here for anyone who wants to participate. Why assume ulterior motives?

Sorry, I allowed some of the emotions I expressed in my thread about the purpose of this forum to bleed over here. I shouldn't have done that and I ask your forgiveness.

When I first saw the list, I saw that many of the names on it were not active posters at CF, much less active posters at WP. As a fairly active poster in WP, I could only guess that the reason I had been excluded was because I was not a conservative evangelical like others on the list. I noticed other posters in WP of a more liberal bent were similarly not included.

Finally, I didn't understand (and still don't) the purpose of the list. I highly doubt that WP mods are going to contact me if I don't post here for awhile, and if it's just friends contacting friends, it seems to me just as easy to add them to your buddy list, or enter their sname in the Members search box than as would be to find a sticky in Wesley's Parish.

I'm sorry. Thanks for all the hard work you guys are putting into this, I guess I just assumed ulterior motives because I didn't understand the whole concept.

[Redheadedstepchild]

I knew I spelled ulterior wrong. That's what I get for posting sleepy.

Thank you for explaining. I must have seen the list after you did, because I recognized everyone on it as someone who posts here. I think when putting together something like this people do get left off...just because it's hard to remember everyone.

I am still a little confused about how you got that some of us are conservative evangicals. I really don't see myself that way, and personally I have no idea where anyone else stands. I figure that's one of those things that people have to work out for themselves - and if someone else's outlook doesn't match mine that's ok. Everyone has a different path.

Would you like me to contact you when you don't post?:) I can do that!^_^

[Speculative]

Thank you for explaining. I must have seen the list after you did, because I recognized everyone on it as someone who posts here. I think when putting together something like this people do get left off...just because it's hard to remember everyone. I did too. I was just surprised to be left off. When someone with a health bar of 17%, and others with one less than 100% are included and I'm left out, I find it hard to believe I was innocently overlooked.

I am still a little confused about how you got that some of us are conservative evangicals. I really don't see myself that way, and personally I have no idea where anyone else stands.
I got it from reading posts here that support the conservative evangelical viewpoint. Some examples:

-one poster was upset that a Baptist on the radio criticized Methodists. I don't know which Baptist it was, but I've never heard a Baptist on the radio who WASN'T a conservative evangelical. Furthermore, any criticism that would be levied against Methodists by a conservative evangelical would be readily acknowledged and welcome by any Methodist I know IRL.

-The whole politeness facade was thrown out the window once Oprah Winfrey was mentioned, she may have been rightly criticized, but the venom I saw on that thread was more indicative of conservative evangelical judgementalism than Wesleyan compassion.

-a couple of posters really got worked up over the whole "Common Era" dating system. Only a conservative evangelical would think that was a big deal.

-I've seen advocacy for the "Contemporary Service" here, which is an invention of the modern conservative evangelical movement.

-The Wesley's Parish Book Club is studying a book by a very conservative evangelical who not only is not a Wesleyan, he's not even an Arminian. Now, I must admit, it IS a decent book, but I'd rather see Wesley's Parish feature books by people that are closer to Wesleyan or Methodist beliefs.

There are some other examples, but you get the idea.
Would you like me to contact you when you don't post?:) I can do that!^_^I welcome contact by anyone who wants to have some real conversation. The polite fellowship posts are fine for starters, but I'm really far more interested in what you think about God, life, the church and the universe, than I am in whether or not you're glad it's the weekend. So, my answer to that question depends upon what you're going to want to talk about if you contact me.

I don't see why everyone's so afraid they might get into an argument with me. I'm just an anonymous nobody on the internet. You can turn me right off anytime you want. (and I'm sure many posters here already have.)

EDIT: conversation continued in the Staff Feedback forum :)

I may have to conceed this one.

(*emphasis mine) Really? You may be right, but I think you have to be careful when you start steriotyping (I'm sure I spelled that wrong). Just an aside -I'm not sure I'd agree that we advocate contemporary services (and btw I prefer traditional liturgy).

-The Wesley's Parish Book Club is studying a book by a very conservative evangelical who not only is not a Wesleyan, he's not even an Arminian. Now, I must admit, it IS a decent book, but I'd rather see Wesley's Parish feature books by people that are closer to Wesleyan or Methodist beliefs.

OK. Sounds good to me.

Thank you for speaking up about your concern. After thinking about your reaction to it, I can see where the title could lead someone to believe it could be exclusionary, which definitely isn't the point. I'm so sorry it made you feel excluded, and my apologies to anyone else who felt the same way. I've edited the title for that purpose.

BTW... the list isn't for mods... it came out of a discussion in the ASA thread a while ago about where some members were and how they were doing.

[GraceSeeker]

I find it hard to believe I was innocently overlooked.

Speculative, I've welcomed many of your thoughtful comments. You bring knowledge of Methodism to your posts that are too often overlooked by those who post casually -- though there is nothing wrong with casual posting in and of itself. And you nearly always have something interesting and positive to contribute. But I confess to you that this "Why did I get left out?" cry is getting old and tiresome. Either you believe that the list was started by someone who simply wanted to list those that they saw as regular posters or you don't. If you believe them, please accept all of our apologies and let's move on. If you don't believe us, you have our apologies none the less. If you choose not to accept them, then you are saying that you really don't choose to accept us, and I can't understand why anyone would want to stay in a group that they refuse to accept.



As for you other comments, I'm not sure how one can reconcile your concerns about: Interesting, because it looks very much like a vehicle to indicate exclusion of those who are not the "right kind" of Wesleyans. with the following post where you generally criticize people for having differing beliefs or concerns than you.

It seems to me that you want us all to jump on your personal bandwagon and are upset that others here might have some ideas that they bring to the parish that are different than your own. What I would like to say to that is a simple-- GET OVER IT.

There, you see, we are not afraid to disagree. I do happen to be what some would term an evangelical Christian, if by that you mean that I tend to defer to the plainest interpretation what the scriptures say versus what I wish they would say when it comes to seeking guidance from them. And I don't apologize for that position.

But I am also thoroughly Wesleyan and will criticize a John MacArthur's views when I find that they are amiss. Yet, I do not believe that we have to reject everything produced by those who are outside of the Wesleyan fold. Open hearts, open minds, open doors has to include at least a willingness to engage with other's points of views.

Speaking of the Bridges' book, if you wanted more than polite fellowship posts, why didn't you join in that study? It would have been the perfect place to point to some of the differences between a Wesleyan and a non-Wesleyan perspective. But all I see is you sniping at others from the sidelines. That's what I don't get. You want to be taken seriously, and I've not seen people do other than that with your posts, yet you aren't willing to offer the same in return. What we get instead of petulant rants about being excluded or others not being Wesleyan enough for you.

You don't like what others are talking about, but beyond lambasting others for being uninteresting, I don't see you having much to offer yourself recently. Your past posts were much more on point. This last week you sound more like a Jr. High schooler crying, "Nobody likes me." Well, that wasn't how I felt about you until this week. So, if you would please, we are all interested in what you have to contribute. But criticism of what you don't like without offering something that you do is not a contribution, it is just a clanging gong, a noisy cymbal. I would rather think of you in some other way.

You see Wesley's Parish isn't an entity. It doesn't offer anything. It is nothing more than a street corner, a place where people gather. What happens in WP is not determined by the location, but by what people offer to share. So, beyond the fact that you don't find much that you like about the rest of us and the way we relate to one another, what is it that you would like share?

[Speculative]

Heh--something tells me I won't be getting a response to my request to be added to GraceSeeker's buddy list.

Heh--something tells me I won't be getting a response to my request to be added to GraceSeeker's buddy list.


hehe I don't have anybody on my buddy list. But, Speculative, if I did keep one, I would be glad to include you. You come across as a generally friendly person. I don't find any serious objection to your posts or comments. In fact, I usually find them insightful and informative. And they are always theologically sound. This current line is the only time that you have exhausted me over something that I just don't get the importance of one way or the other.

When I said I certainly consider you a part of the WP, it is because I think you are a valuable contributor. I just think you are over reacting to this the creation of a "contact list" just like I also over-reacted in my post above.

HAPPY EASTER!!

He is risen!!

[Redheadedstepchild]

OK, so the "x" thing doesn't always work. Especially when you hit the wrong button to send. :doh:

Anyway, I put MarkEvan's name in as a place holder. We can put the details in later. (see below)

[cristianna]

Can someone add MarkEvan to the list? I'm not sure where he's been... but I'm on the hunt if anyone wants to join me.

[cristianna]

Can we get Moriah and Texas Lynn added?

Anyone else too? I'll look around in a bit for others. I know aka Red Fox, needs to be added too. But I need to find the correct spelling of her new name.

[tpony298]

first, I like the idea of the list. It keeps our people organized and supported. Perhaps if it had been in use a couple of weeks ago, I wouldn't have been so lost and confused and ready to quit. I received a pm from "someone."
an angel... saying he haddn't seen anything post by me in a long time so is assuning I am no longer an active member, so "Would I give him my blessing to give to newbie when welcoming them.

I have been sick for nearly 2 years...some days better then others, and many days don't have the energy to post, but I don't want to be dropped because of it.

At least if I get lost now I wll know who to contact for help. love, Joyce

I'll try to get to this soon. I should probably change RTM's name while I'm at it.

[Celticflower]

Can you add me to the list??

(I feel left out)

[Redheadedstepchild]

Absolutely!!!

(We love you!!!!:groupray: )

sometimes life gets very busy and we are distracted or forgetful. Sorry you've been sick for so long.. I can definitely relate.

Done.

Added. Glad you spoke up so you're not left out! :thumbsup:

[Redheadedstepchild]

AniGequoti has been added. ;)

[Kristen.NewCreation]

Well, with the upgrades, this list doesn't work anymore. I'll see if I can work on a new one. Red, perhaps we should unstick this one now since it's no longer correct. I'll post the new one when it's ready.

[Redheadedstepchild]

Thread is unstuck. :)

[ParaCristo]

You two are super mods.... ;)

[GraceSeeker]
