CCR fsg's.... input needed...

[Father Rick]

Ok guys, now that we have our own forum, we need to determine what, if any, fsg's (forum specific guidelines) we will have in place as to who can be a member, who can post, etc.


Please, put down any ideas you may have, so we can discuss and get some things drawn up.

Thanks!

These are the ones that were posted before the restructuring. I was asked to write them and this is what I wrote.

This is a Catholic forum for those in union with the Bishop of Rome, his Holiness Pope Benedict XVI. We welcome and encourage our Christian brothers and sisters of all faith communities to participate in discussions and to share testimonies and pray with us.

This Forum is to share the Catholic Charismatic Renewal with our Catholic and non-Catholic brothers and sisters. It is a No Debate Forum and we encourage you to open threads for discussion that pertain to the Catholic Charismatic Renewal.

We ask that Catholic threads that do not directly pertain the Catholic Charismatic Renewal be opened in One Bread One Body where they can be shared with the entire Church.


Of course we can modify them now to fit our needs as our needs are a little different.

 

[Rhamiel]

since it is not a debate forum, it is really open to anyone interested in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal

I agree with that.
So far we have not had one single bit of problems, no reports or anything bad happening.

We have had great members.

 

[Father Rick]

Do we want to word it that the forum is specifically for those "in communion with Rome"?

As you guys know, I'm OC, not RC...

Now, please understand that I will not be trying to separate CCR from the RC, etc. I'm just wondering if there may be a better way to word it to say something to the effect of this being a forum for people from a variety of backgrounds, but focused around the CCR in the RCC. I'm really not sure the best way to do that...

Just throwing out the concerns... I'll work with whatever you guys come up with.

 

[Rhamiel]

it is for all people interested in the CCR, but it is still a Catholic Forum... since it is not a debate forum I did not see where the problem comes in. This forum is open to anybody who has an interest in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal

 

[Peaceful Dove]

I think we need to work on it. I like Rhamiels words

I think it is important to have an open door for both catholics and non-catholics here, while we ourselves remain fully catholic.

 

[Peaceful Dove]

I agree. That is why I put Rhamiels words
This is a Catholic forum
Fr Rick is a Mod here and a Catholic Charismatic.
This leaves the forum open to him too.

Thanks Rhamiel. Good thinking

 

[Peaceful Dove]

Any more comments on this before it goes up as a sticky?

 

[millerrod]

Could we have a Stickie posted [ World Wide Christian Persecution Update ] We need to respect, acknowledge, and be aware of those Deciples who are being persecuted and killed to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Brother rod

 

[Peaceful Dove]

Greetings Rod,
We can't do it as a sticky. At this stage, staff will expect us to restrict posts to those things pertaining to the Catholic Charismatic Renewal.
I do think we need to be in prayer for our Persecuted brothers and sisters. Would you post this on our Prayer List, please. Some of us print up the list to keep with us as a steady reminder.

Thank you for reminding us of this special need.

I think I would add something to the effect of :

It is understood that there will be differences of opinions on various subjects relating to the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. Discussions of those subjects are permitted, however, any posts disparaging Catholics or the CCR will be considered off topic to the forum and will be subject to action under the sitewide rules regarding such.

 

[Peaceful Dove]

Good
Would you sticky it Fr Rick. I think they way it was written and your addition says it all.

 

[Peaceful Dove]

Thanks Father Rick!!!
Looks good.

 

[Father Rick]

No problem

How about in communion with the Pope then Fr?

 

[Peaceful Dove]

Hey look up at the stickies
The rules are already posted.
There will be some minor changes for consistancy with the web.

 

[synger]

Yes, the formatting will change a bit, to make sure it's consistent with the other FSGs. I didn't realize you had this discussion thread, or I would already have posted... but the draft of the updated FSGs is here. I already let your moderator know about it. You may want to take any further discussion there, so you can see what the new format and expectations are. (and so the discussion can be captured all in one thread.))

 

[JoabAnias]

As you guys know, I'm OC, not RC....

No disrespect intended Fr. but can you clarify something I don't understand please.

Does this mean your NOT in union with the Pope? I was under the impression that OC's are.

Or was the context of your statement to emphasize the ecumenical nature of the thread?


Peace.
