Hi members
This poll, started by drstevej, was PMed to me recently. I think that it does make a good point and I wanted it moved out of the Conservative Christians forum to the Announcement forum to gather input from other members as well.
The issue here is whether CF's name should be changed and its vision modified to reflect its current framework.
This site at the moment is at a cross-roads, and can go either way. It can either become:
1. A safe social community site with a heavy and strong Christian influence (with the vision being to offer a safe online community, and a secondary vision being to allow Christians to outreach to non-Christians) - which will allow for a name change;
OR
2. Return to a more restricted Christians-only site with a heavy emphasis on uniting mainstream Christians only with a less emphasis on outreach, in which case we keep the name.
Bear in mind that options 1 and 2 are both valid - there is a place for either forums.
I think that at this moment members are frustrated because CF is halfway between options 1 and 2, so members are confused as we have a vision that belongs to option 2 but a setup that is more like option 1.
Therefore, I think we need to make a decision.
I'm going to leave this up to the community. I've extended the above poll to 3rd of August.
I will listen to the members here, and will defer to the final decision.
Please feel free to discuss this issue in this thread.
