Participation is only limited on a “caucus” thread. Anyone can post to an “ecumenical” thread - as long as (s)he complies with the guideline of “no antagonism.”
A LOT of stuff 'antagonizes' ME; but I am mature enough to be able to take it.
What are the GUIDLINES on just WHAT is considered antagonistic and what is not in an ECUMENICAL thread?
MORMONs have a HISTORY of considering CHRISTIANS to be, shall we say, a little less than being 'correct' in their religious practices.
NOW they what to known as CHRISTIANS themselves.
So when a MORMON posts an article as to WHEN the word 'christian' was first used, we Christians tend to wonder if their is some kind of hidden agenda going to be revealed in the thread in subsequent posts in it.
