The News Feed, under the settings menu under the avatar click simply returns you to the home page. I used to use this quite a bit in the old format as I knew what people I followed were posting. I helped with my engagement.

I think this is a new feature, and I really like it, as it allows a response without derailing the thread. Very Good. Thankyou.

In the old format and at the bottom of the screen, there was a triangle icon that scrolled to the top. This was handy, though now I realise less of an issue as the main navigation is now sticky.

One change I find a little frustrating is in the watched threads area. That really is how I have worked with the site. In the previous iteration, I would see displayed three of four threads that had new posts added to them which let me keep abreast. Now I found I had 34 pages of threads, and I...

The question of slavery came up as a bi-product of another discussion I was in. I had simply assumed that all Christians would see slavery as an ethical issue, and regard it as totally immoral. I felt a little like a lonely voice. A couple of points: There is a timeline here which you may find...

One of the things I have observed, and I think it follows the adoption of the three year cycle of readings - be it the Roman Lectionary, The Revised Common Lectionary, or one of a number of Anglican Lectionaries that have evolved from these sources, and that is that preaching has become...

My guess is that we would all want to affirm this self understanding. I have been mulling around (that's probably not the right term) for about two years now, having been encouraged here by an Easter Orthodox Christian. In initially I was a bit amazed at what seemed the smallness of the...

In a thread recently this was posted: The Church of England was created by a man that asked the Pope for permission to disobey the bible to marry his brother's wife. The argument was that because his brother and his future wife not have sexual relations, they were not married. This was true, so...

John 17 Jesus Prays for His Disciples After Jesus had spoken these words, he looked up to heaven and said, ‘Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all people, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And...

There seem to be a number of threads rehashing this topic in one way or another. Often there are two going at once. These threads create a deal of angst between those who adopt a hard line literal verbal inerrancy approach to a number of texts, and those who have a more open (some will say...

I am aware a lot of people do not know what it is, so here is the very short story. At the Council of Constantinople 381 the Nicene Creed was established. At the Council of Ephesus in 435 anathemas we declared against those who added to or took away from the Creed At the Council of Chalcedon in...

Most Sundays and Holy Days we stand and together affirm the faith of the Church in the words of the Nicene Creed. If we can summarise and highlight the layout of the Creed in some ways it helps us understand the meaning, so here goes in overview: We believe in One God The Father .... The Son...

Recently Fr Gavin Ashenden announced his resignation from the Church of England. I think he has done so with a great deal of integrity, and I mean no criticism, however we don't necessarily agree on all things, that does not detract from the respect I have for him. In a carefully reserved You...

Close to the very heart of the Christian story is a woman. She is integrally involved in the birth of Jesus, in a way that leaves the rest of us wondering what it must be like to be so close. She is personally involved in the events at Calvary, and is one of a few people addressed personally...
