Guidelines for Peaceful discussions about Our Blessed Lady.

  1. Be Polite
  2. Be Respectful of Our Lady
  3. Stay on Topic
  4. Please no flame-bating or Ad hominum attacks
In General:
This forum has been created in an effort to further discussions among the Anglican Church (and other Christians of good will) in the hopes of increasing our understanding of Mary and her role in the Christian Dispensation, and for the increase of true devotion of Christians to the ineffable Mother of God .

While freedom of speech is a cherished ideal and right; in the words of the Apostole St. Paul; "All things are lawful for me but not all things are helpful, All things are lawful for me, but I will not be bound by anything". I must therefore reserve the right to remove posts that in my opinion (as list moderator) do not relate to the topic.

I assume that participants are rationally endowed creatures, having the faculty from their Creator. I also assume that participants have the faculty of self-control, and the love of Truth. Therefore, the Board will not normally be moderated.

Comment:Discussion requires a calm, reasonable, even a reverent atmosphere. Most of all, it requires humility and Charity "in all things charity" Any or all of the above behaviors disrupts or destroys this necessary atmosphere.
