I understand that under the new mod it is possible to label a thread for "devotional" use by a particular group and that no negative discourse is permitted on such a thread.

For example, I've seen a few Mormon devotional threads, lately. There are the daily Catholic and Protestant devotional threads.

You might consider posting a thread for devotional purposes and labeling it: "Charismatic Devotional Thread" or something like that just to see what happens. My guess is that it will be respected.

Hi xzins,

Good idea. Thanks so much.

Sounds like a wonderful new polilcy that I was unaware of.

But it feels a bit like jury-rigging, shoehorning a philosophical/theological/experiential topic into a "devotional" category. Almost not quite honest.

I wonder if it would be possible to declare a thread from the outset as FOR TRULY CONSTRUCTIVE DISCOURSE ONLY?

His point isn't to have an article posted under "Devotional." His point is to encourage gracious discourse when it comes to Christian leaders who practice their faith differently from you.

We really do need to stop the knee-jerk hatred toward high-profile Christian leaders.

Are Freepers being influenced unduly by TV sitcoms, that mock high-profile Christians? Are we being influenced by the MSM that mocks them? We can do better than that.

I would make sure the assembly is not disturbed on a thread labeled that way.
