i would have responded on the original Thread but it was locked for some reason.
objection 1:
"We've talked about this and the answer is no.

The reason is that we can't have a forum where just a group of people are allowed to teach. It's open to all or nothing at all.

We have the Congregational area and also the General Theology area, so we won't be adding on more forums at the moment."

Response 1: "we can't have a forum where just a group of people are allowed to teach." Yes you can! it is called school which is exactly what I proposed. It would be better to say you don't want one and have made the decision not to include one at this time.

Response 2.

just a group of people are allowed to teach.

these are not "JUST A GROUP OF PEOPLE", they are experts, people with Masters and PhD's, they are highly trained professionals. people on the forum quote these people to support their view. I want to cut out the middle man.

CF is a forum not a seminary. The focus is on discussion among members. We have no official teachers. The closest we have is recognized Chaplains (who are ordained clergy) but their role is to assist the Advisors as directed in ministry roles to the forum and staff.

An online seminary better does what you are seeking.
