: Hi Ryan. Thanks for the message. I like the notice and think it's fine. I've emailed Prab and asked him about bureaucratship. Waiting for his reply still. I'm not sure exactly what the decision will be about new bureaucrats - just so you know, and so that we're being transparent - the things that have been on my mind about b'crats is (1) should there be a time period (e.g. 3 months) of use before being able to become one? (2) are there any important doctrinal beliefs that are considered important to be a b'crat? As you've probably noticed WikiChristian has an evangelical Protestant flavour - do we want to keep that in the bureaucrats or not? I'm not sure - but if we do, we certainly want b'crats to be very flexible and happy to accept other points of view from other Christians; if we don't, then we certainly want to still maintain at least the core value of accepting the Bible as God's word, but with the realization that there is a wide variety of interpretations of much of it. Anyway, just wanted to update you on the thinking - this thinking has been going on from before you asked the question about becoming a b'crat. So it might be a few more days wait or so. Sorry about that. If you want to put information about your Christian beliefs / walk on your user page then that's great; or alternatively you can email it to me at graham_grove at yahoo dot com dot au.

:: Hi Ryan. I've heard from Prab about the matter of b'crats and we reckon that while WikiChristian is small enough there is no particular need for a specific defined process about b'crats, but simply a case by case decision can be made. Prab's keen on the ecumenical nature continuing and so we don't think we need any sort of denominational or theological requirements for b'crats other than that they be committed Christians - Protestant, Catholic or Orthodox etc - all are okay. (I think personally however that it is important that they do agree with the simple points of faith that are on the [[WikiChristian:Page Layout]] and [[Statement of Faith]] pages). Hence, we're happy for you to be a b'crat so long as you are a committed Christian, which I gather you are - is that right?--[[User:Graham grove|Graham grove]] 00:24, 31 July 2008 (PDT)
