Chew the Fat

This initial post is a bit of a test to see if everything is working on the site and a few comments on what I thought we could use the bloging phenomenon for.

I see this blog is a public sphere where anyone can come and discuss perspectives on faith, philosophy, politics and anything else that could help us continue to learn.

I hope this space will be a place where we can all share our journey with honesty and respect for each other and that the accumulated knowledge, backgrounds and perspectives of all of us will challenge us in our relationships with God and people.

For this to work we need to start with the premise that everyone’s, opinion no matter how diverse from our own, should be regarded rationally and with respect.
This is an open space so whoever wants to join and contribute can and nothing will be censored. I reckon the more the diversity the better. I am sure there will be big disagreements on issues and things could get heated, this is great it’s what we need. But lets try to keep personal attacks and abuse out of it.
