Hello all 🙂 just touching in on the Faith Based thread.
I believe it’s incredibly positive to see a thread in which the discussion of religion has assisted in your relationship with spirituality, providing also an outlet for reflection and kinship amongst members. We have considered a lot of feedback and are pleased to hear that for many of you this thread is a calming resource, as well as a place to relate to one another.
In taking onboard your views regarding the Caps lock, we do agree, it can be misconstrued and is somewhat directive in its tone. For the purpose of the forums and with the goal of inclusivity, on Monday January 21st we will rename this thread “Christian Chat”.
I want to acknowledge that there are a wide variety of spiritualities on the forum, not just Christianity but also Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Agnostic and a diverse range of others. Some of you may have a personal relationship with the Divine and some of you may not. Some of you may find meaning in science and some in nature. We’re hoping this incredible thread and the new title will encourage other members to start further faith-based chats if needs be, as well as providing the community with a clear and concise view as to the context of this conversation.
If any members have further questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us via team@saneforums.org
