Overview: Groups

The BERTHA group 36 books / 21 members / 388 posts The Bertha group is a group of women who are on a spiritual journey. Bible reading Christian women, Tarot dealing women, Muslim women, wiccan women, or anyone else who is tackling their spiritual journey is welcome. The group will probably go private to provide a safe place for sharing thoughts, questions, fears and epiphanies. If you are on that journey and would like a circle of like-minded women around you, please join this group.
The Alexandria Forum: Beliefs And Beyond 39 books / 84 members / 2356 posts The name of the group is a reference to the ancient city of Alexandria, capital of the Graeco-Roman Egypt and the ancient world's leading center of learning, philosophical ideas, religious ferments and wisdom.

In keeping with this ideal, this group will be a forum for the exploration of all forms of beliefs.

Everyone is invited and free to participate in any way he/she wants. However, in order to preserve harmony and make it a pleasant and enriching experience for all, we will do our best to follow some basic, common sense rules:

~ Disagreeing, Yes. Repeatedly and purposefully attempting to insult or disparage, No.
~ "Copy and paste" a few lines or short paragraphs, Yes. Whole pages, No.
~ Sharing your convictions, Yes. Proselyting, No.

Thank you for your understanding, and welcome all.
