This forum is set up specifically to be a place where Christians who have an egalitarian view can share and discuss, without having to defend ourselves or our views to others who don't share them.
The statement of purpose of this forum includes:
"Some things about Egalitarians include:
- Belief that the Bible teaches the full equality of men and women in Creation and in Redemption
- Belief that both woman and man were created for full and equal partnership.
- Belief that man and woman were co-participants in the Fall
- Belief that husbands and wives are joint heirs together of the grace of life and that they are bound together in a relationship of mutual submission and responsibility
- Belief that both mothers and fathers are to exercise leadership in the nurture, training, discipline and teaching of their children
Some specific guidelines for this forum include:
1. This is a safehouse forum for Egalitarian Christians. Criticizing or mocking members that hold that view is not allowed.
2. This forum is intended to be informational and not for debate. There may be some disagreements, but these should be handled with grace towards one another rather than attacking one another.
3. Abortion cannot be promoted on Christian Forums.
4. Members of this forum may come from all denominations, and may hold a range of positions on the ordination of women as leaders, pastors, or sacramental ministers within the Church. These differing views may be explored within this forum, but that women are called to share in the work of the church alongside their brothers may not be debated. Ordained women and their ministries are to be respected in this forum.
...In addition, if you are not a member of this faith group, you may not debate issues or teach against its theology. You may post in fellowship. Active promotion of views contrary to the established teachings of this group will be considered off topic."
