Then, like post #1 says, let’s bring that item over to the other thread. No reason to clutter this thread.
If any freeper has issues or discussion about using the ecumenical thread concept, post questions on this following thread dedicated to that purpose: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/2038869/posts
It's not being discussed over there. It only appears on this thread. It's just a request for clarification of an unfamiliar term. That doesn't seem unreasonable.
