Hi All,

I drop into here from time to time and over at the anglican forum I notice things are quiet over there which is probably due to driving away anyone with views other than the a small clique, the latest I notice is that no one is allowed to talk about same sex relationships or the ordination of women, sad really but true. I would be great to see some constructive discussion on wider Anglican Communion.

Great to see you posting Gordon and great to see you posting as well Adam!! In regards to that other forum, I do not wish to run it down, as there were times when it was a great joy to post there and I met some awesome Anglicans on that forum (Adam and Gordon included!). That said, my issues had less to do with women's ordination/homosexual issues and more to do with the nature of debates. A handful of posters over there were quite unwelcoming of those who lean in a Catholic Anglican direction. It is certainly fine to disagree with certain Catholic Anglican points and to debate them. That said, some posters would ignore valid points and instead resort to constant attacks. This is not constructive debate and not a way to have constructive debate. A number of us left that forum and came to this forum as a result. At the end of the day, it is sad how it played out because there were times when that forum was a real safe haven and place to have awesome discussions. I check in from time to time on that forum, but no longer post because I don't want to have to be in self-defense mode all of the time.

As far as this forum goes, I really enjoy it. There are diverse views here and we do have constructive debate that generally avoids attacks. I'm sure some would see me as narrow-minded on some issues, but I haven't had an issue with anybody here and the debate generally remains civil.

I was also at the other place and left. I was invited over there by someone on this forum. I soon left due to the lack of charity toward Christians of different beliefs. I find this place more hospitable.
That's right! I thought your name looked familiar! :D
