This is something I've been thinking about for a long time, and as I'm probably heading to America shortly (where, hopefully, I can meet some Native Americans in flesh :D ) I'd like to bring it out here, to see what any Native Americans (and, indeed, anyone else) here think about it.
It has...
Something I've been thinking about today.
The past year or so, there have been a spate of programmes on British television about the Classical Period - Ancient Rome and the "Barbarian" peoples they conquered. Two in particular interested me - one, hosted by local MP Boris Johnson, compared...
Booko recommended that I come here and ask my question - so here it is:
Why does the Baha'i faith aim to include the prophesies of many different religions in it's own prophetic tradition? I always thought Baha'i was a meant to be a fulfillment of prophecy rather than a source of prophecy.
I...
I will post my view later, but I am interested to know how all the different denominations view human nature. Feel free to post even if you are not a Christian, but have questions to ask or have some knowledge of Christian theology.

In a recent meeting between Communities Minister Ruth Kelly and a number of liberal Muslim leaders, the latter group demanded that, if Muslim youth were to feel that they were being treated...
Okay Arrow, lets do this thing: -
I say that, at their core, Xianity and Islam are the same - manifestations of and paths built around the core truth of God's word. Arrow, your thoughts?
The question of the nature of the trinity is quite interesting for me: - Are the persons of the trinity in any way distinct from each other? Their equality and mutuality is without doubt among orthodox followings, but do they have different roles, different nature's or suchlike?
This is a very important issue - concerning the nature of both omnipotence and God. Simply put - it asks if God is able to do the logically impossible - in other words, if he can create a spherical cube, an invisible pink unicorn, or make 1+1=4. I am interested to know what your own opinions and...
Something that recently has piqued my interest is the issue of women in the priesthood. It seems, at least to me, to be one of the widest praxial gaps between the Anglican communion and the other apostolic churches. I have already discussed the issue at length with JamesThePersian, who has given...
Here is a ritual I have thought up drawing on bits from the Celtic Tradition. It's Christian, and quite long, but here goes :)
What you will need:
A clean dove or goose feather
Incense with a dish to burn it in
A stone dish or bowl - or a clean pebble and a porcelain bowel
A cup of water
A...
Okay, this isn't directly relevant to Christian Wicca - it is more to do with a way of praying to God using his elements as an icon and focusing tool. It draws on the Celtic reverance of directions and Celtic Christian symbolism, and as we don't have a Celtic Christianity subforum yet, I thought...
Well, I was put on the scent of Eastern Orthodoxy by JamesThePersian on a thread about Origen. I looked it up on wikipedia, and well I must say I'm really impressed. I found the theology convincing and practical - deftly avoiding all the inumberable logical problems that have so plagued western...
I don't know if this is the right place for a thread about Celtic Christianity, but since I couldn't see any subforums concerning it, I thought this was better than anywhere :)
I've always loved my Christian faith - it completes my worldview and helped me out of a time when I was really...
Something I have been thinking about for a long time is Apocatastasis - that is, universal salvation. Originally posited over a thousand years ago by Origen, a greek early church scholar, and later carried on by many thinkers from Saint Gregory of Nyssa to Julian of Norwich, it teaches that all...
Hello everyone, I'm Elvendon
A little about myself, I'm an 18 year old student from the UK, and I love talking about religion, which is why I'm here I suppose. I'm a Celtic Christian, which I will tell anyone who is interested about :)
I hope I can contribute to all the debates here!
God...
