OpenChristian Reddit Migration

Due to Reddit's current issues, we have set this magazine up as an alternative option in case it becomes necessary for the community to migrate.

For the time being, the main OpenChristian community will remain on https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenChristian/ but please feel free to subscribe and post on this magazine as a non-reddit alternative.

I am glad to see this magazine established. I will post about it on Mastodon. If the need arises, I would be happy to offer my help in moderating here. (Although, I'd need to learn more about that first. lol)

Progressive and Affirming Christianity

@OpenChristian@kbin.social

About

This is a community for progressive Christians and friends to discuss our faith, support each other, and share inspiration for our spiritual journeys. We seek God's message of Peace, Love, and Grace through following the Spirit of Christ.

Notice

We welcome those of any ethnicity, nationality, gender expression and identity, or sexual orientation. OpenChristian is pro-feminist, pro-queer, anti-racist and anti-oppression. This space is Open and Affirming, but we welcome Christians who have chosen celibacy. If you are a ‘Side B’ Christian, please respect Rule 1, but know that you belong here and we want you to participate.

If you have questions about progressive Christianity or Christian affirmation of LGBTQ+ people please see our FAQ.

Please note that as a progressive Christian sub, we are explicitly followers of Christ, as well as LGBTQ+ affirming, anti-racist, feminist, and egalitarian. Friends are very welcome to participate, no matter what you believe. But this is not the place for questioning or debating these positions (it’s not wrong to ask questions but there are many other subs that are overflowing with such posts already).

Do not post or comment about how you believe homosexuality is a sin. We have heard this a thousand times, and you have nothing new to contribute to the conversation. If you do this, you will be banned.

Rules

1. No bigotry or oppressive rhetoric. All misogyny, racism, antisemitism, LGBTQ+phobia, etc. will result in removal and a permanent ban. This includes commenting that LGBTQ+ love or relationships are sinful. Be aware that using “Pharisee” as a negative slur is considered anti-Semitic.

1b. Side B folks are welcome, but follow Rule 1. This space is Open and Affirming, but we welcome Christians who have chosen celibacy. If you are a Side B Christian, please respect Rule 1 above, but know that you belong here and we want you to participate.

2. Do not promote oppressive/harmful ideology. This includes all attempts to promote or normalise hate, shame, or fear within Christianity (e.g. purity culture, scaremongering against gender-transitioning, “complementarianism”, or “demonic” attacks).

**3. No sectarianism. Legitimate criticism of other Christians/faiths is allowed but refrain from prejudice against entire denominations/groups, and against other religions (e.g. Islamophobia).

4. No disparaging Christianity. This is primarily a supportive space for anyone who identifies as Christian. While everyone is welcome to participate we ask that no one disparages Christianity.

5. Be respectful and polite. No personal attacks or accusations, harassment, misrepresentation of others, or insults. This also includes forcing debate, gatekeeping, and denying the validity of another’s faith.

6. Don’t be a troll or a jerk. Don't concern troll, play devil's advocate, or pretend to be confused when you really just want to start a debate. This Rule will be interpreted at the moderators’ discretion.

7. No spamming or proselytizing. Don't post here if you're mass posting to other subreddits. Don't post here for self-promotion unless it's particularly relevant to this subreddit. This is not your soapbox, and we are not here for you to preach at us. If you want to promote your media please ask permission from the mods.

8. Be sensitive about linking to triggering content. Because we want this space to be as safe as possible, we discourage posting images or links to oppressive rhetoric from others. However, we do understand that venting is important sometimes. If you must post something potentially triggering, mark it nsfw or use spoiler tags, and censor any identifying information.
