CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I am tired of flag culture. We do not need to idolize flags, as it is a sign of rampant individualism in my opinion. So no, we as a society do not need yet another flag. But, there can be an organization for women priests.

Well, there's this one:

Honestly, I don't want any big hoopla made about being a woman who's a priest. The first rule of ministry is, "it's not about you."
I just want to be allowed to get on with the work of ministry, without being attacked for being a woman while doing it.

I like the older one, but the new one looks okay, but bland. Used to live in Minnesota from 2001 to 2016, but never really held any attention for the flag.

Dumb Question.Well, there's this one:

That's the Episcopal flag.
What about those women who are ordained in the United Methodist Church, Lutheran ELCA, etc? Should there be a flag for them?
I know most protestants do not use the term "priest" when referring to their clergy. Pastor or elder is usually more common.

IIRC, the first female ordained was by Congregationalist in the 1800s. Of course, deaconess existed before then.
