Who can post? Members of the caucus and those specifically invited What can be posted? Anything but the beliefs of those who are not members of the caucus

What will be pulled? Reply posts mentioning the beliefs of those who are not members of the caucus. If the article is inappropriate for a caucus, the tag will be changed to open.

Who will be booted? Repeat offenders.

Repeat offenders. Christ must truly weep over you. I suggest you look at a dictionary definition of "ecumenical." It doesn't mean "toeing the party line."

From Merriam-Webster.com:
ecumenical (adjective) of, relating to, or representing the whole of a body of churches b : promoting or tending toward worldwide Christian unity or cooperation
It doesn't mean calling a narrow and novel interpretation of doctrine the shibboleth by which everyone else is excluded.

Hey, I've got a really cool idea. You can have things listed in such a way that each and every post of a so-called "ecumenical" thread is completely invisible to all but those who are official members of whichever subdivision of the theological Balkans your group happens to occupy.

Present your ideas to the Religion Moderator. I doubt that he is looking for solutions, though. I realize I can’t speak for him/her, but that is my opinion since that rules have been around for awhile.

BTW, I’m not looking for any solution either, so no thanks.

You are mixing the definition of Caucus and Ecumenical threads on the Religion Forum.

Click on my profile page for the guidelines.

Also, if you'd like to debate the RF guidelines, then start a new thread for that purpose. Antagonism is not tolerable on RF threads labeled "ecumenical."
