The purpose of these forums is to provide opportunity to discuss issues that are of concern to people within the Christian Faith. That allows a great deal of diversity within the Christian tradition, and discussion about various perspectives within the Christian faith is welcome. However, there are other places in which topics of interest to those who do not make confession within the Christian Faith may be discussed. Posts that do not reflect a Christian faith confession may be removed. Almost any topic that is of interest to Christians in relation to their Faith is acceptable, provided it is conducted in the appropriate forum of The Voice.
Some topics are more sensitive than others and tend to evoke stronger emotional reactions.
There is no intent to discourage dialog about controversial issues, as long as the discussion remains within the bounds of Christian love and community, and as long as courtesy and mutual respect are the rule. We do ask that the topics stay within the general parameters of the various discussion forums, although even some of those topics may be quite wide ranging. The Ministry Forum is intended to center on discussion related in some way to ministry in the church. It is not restricted to ministers, but the topics will normally concern ministry issues. Please restrict posts on the forums to appropriate topics for that forum.
