Discussion group for members of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad, and those who are interested in the ROCA, and are not antagonistic towards it. Subscribers will be expected to carry out discussions in the manner of Christian ladies and gentlemen. Respect for the hierarchs of the Church is considered a basic premise of those discussions.

All participants will be expected to identify themselves with their real name, and state which parish they attend. Any who refuse to do so will be banned from the list.

The following types of posts are not welcome on this list:
1) Rude or Ad Hominem posts.
2) Spamming the list by posting article after article.
3) Posting on topics which are not related to our faith.
4) Importing debates from other lists or private e-mail.
Those who post such things will be moderated, and offending posts deleted. Those who persist in such behavior will also be banned from the list.

This list is not an "open" forum, in the sense that posters can post whatever they want, whenever they want, or as often as they want. This forum is for those who wish to engage in respectful conversation with others in the ROCA (and with those who have a sincere interest in the ROCA). The moderators of this list will not allow (as much as it is within their power) offensive or inflammatory posts onto the list.

When posting your first message to the list, please state your name and the name and location of your parish. All subsequent posts must include your full (real) name in the message, unless your full name is included in your e-mail header. Unidentified posters will not be allowed to participate on this forum.
