4. Safe haven.

A safe haven, in my opinion, establishes a completely different atmosphere than the regular discussion groups and forums.

Simply put it means that we support each other.

There is a place and a time to lock heads and fight out strongly felt issues, namely in GD or Religion group.

This is not one of those places.

This is where we can meet and appreciate each other's faith journeys and support each other.

For those seeking to demean, objectify, ridicule, minimize, condescend, satirize, or just generally make people uncomfortable about their religion, please find the other places at DU where those efforts are considered 'in bounds'.

It is not appropriate at the 'Interfaith Group'.

If you enjoy hearing about and sharing generally about metaphysical issues and different faith traditions then you will find the Interfaith Group a welcoming community.
